Ireland’s $27BN Mission to Save Dublin — The B1M (2026)
Source: Original · Readwise highlight
Dublin’s population has grown by nearly a third since the turn of the century but its travel infrastructure
- Role: subject
- In the video: The B1M calls Dublin the 11th most congested city in the world and says its transport has not kept pace with its population. It follows the plan for a metro, Metro North and now MetroLink, through its delays. Along the route, Albert College Park, about 15 minutes from the centre, must host an intervention shaft because the tunnel section between Collins Avenue and Griffith Park exceeds the EU’s 1,000 m spacing for escape and ventilation points.
- Why it matters: The whole video is about the city’s transport problem. Its specific places, such as St Stephen’s Green and Albert College Park, show what building the metro will cost the city’s green spaces.
