The fares seem to be out of date?
Ruh, roh. You’re right. They’re the old Leap card fares. New ones came in on Monday.
Sorry out of date, full poster image – they are up to date on the pdf.

A work of art mate. Well done.
Just call it the Metro and leave it at that… otherwise some cretinous civil servant will give it a make-up name in Gaelic!!!!

Exceptional piece of work.

Raging you wrote this exact sentence before me.
Light Innercity Operational Subway, or LIOS
If you get confused, the Luas is suas and the Lios is sios.
I worked wayyy to hard on this.
But Lios would be pronounced “Liss”.
And it would be the “Luas is thuas, and the Líos is thíos” if you were going down that route.

LOL oh my god, forgot how hilarious Dubliners are
Looks nice and that, but €5 for a pdf?
I’m pretty sure the €5 is for the time and effort to produce the map.

If Dublin had an underground rail network it should be called – “coming soon”
If Dublin had an underground rail network it should be called out for the enormity spent in consultancy fees and its shameless continuation of croneyism etc etc.
Passengers could repair the water leaks while they’re down there anyways loike.
Why? Do you have the slightest bit of evidence that the building of the transport network – Luas, motorways, etc – have involved excessively large consultancy fees and cronyism. Could you share some of this evidence?

“Bloom”
Named in honour of Leopold Bloom, protagonist of Joyce’s Ulysses. It seems apt given that Bloom is remembered for his journey across Dublin.
I love this!! Such a great idea and so understated :)
In honour of Joyce, Orpheus and all that, call it ‘ The Orifice in the Underworld’.
Actually that map is very useful and a very nice piece of work. The other map is brilliant – but is a graphic based on a future plan for Dublin transport. The guy who did it has a great idea, pity it won’t happen.
