September was one of the busiest months we've ever had and we think there is real and meaningful momentum brewing for some positive change for passengers on the Dublin-Rosslare line. Here is what we've been up to...
1. It has been quite a month. A lot of people have been taking action on and talking about the Dublin-Rosslare line. 
2. We held a public meeting to “Keep Wexford on Track”. Includes image of the room at the public meeting in Kinfolk.

What about the cost of NOT investing in public transports? Air quality, missed climate targets, traffic congestion - there’s more to public transport that ticket sales. It doesn’t make sense to treat it as an enterprise that needs to break even.

On one hand we're subsidising reduced excise on fossil fuels by around €100million per month, & on the other we are raising public transport fares. This decision came out of the blue. It seems like we're robbing Peter to pay Paul. Why punish public transport users for making the sustainable choice?

Cycled 8km across Dublin this morning from Goatstown to Grangegorman & I experienced motorists running red lights and illegally blocking junctions EVERY time the opportunity arose. Busses couldn't move, cars were frozen at green lights, everyone was endangered. There's no law on the road anymore.

So the government cut excise on fuel to reduce fuel prices but are increasing public transport fares because of inflation. In a cost of living and climate crisis. Make it make sense.
