Dublin City Council BETA @dccbeta.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Thanks. Positive reframing like that might also help in other ways - such as linking with the increased spend by people on foot ("pedestrian pound"). And might help rethink "delays" - not just wait times, but also walking slower due to narrow busy footpaths, uneven walking surface, obstacles, etc. 150
