This is yet another example of the lip service that is paid to public transport in Dublin.
I presume the local authority, (DCC?) give the license for the gig to go ahead on the proviso that the promoters liaise with the relevant parties, IE, RPA, DB, Guards etc to ensure that punters can get to / from the gig.
All good on paper and high fives at the board room level.
What we have is a few token posters from the o2 arena saying use the bus which can barely handle 1/20th of the numbers going while IE and DB completely fail to even bother adjusting the schedule to run later or extra trains / buses.
Thats just on a weeknight when there is a token late night service, it doesn't even begin to take into account the shambolic Sunday evening services.
Nobody with the power to make changes to transport in Dublin cares because no one with the power to make changes uses public transport in Dublin.
