Gluas Light Rail

Campaigning for a light rail solution to Galway's traffic congestion.

[The Man in Seat 61 @seatsixtyone]

It’s a railway, Jim, but not as we know it. Just travelled the length of Wuppertal’s famous Schwebebahn, opened in 1901. What a wonderful piece of urban transport.

Might sound like a platitude but it's most important to remember when building infrastructure. The old Romans knew that and built beautiful aqueducts instead of ugly water-transportation-pipes. Beauty is more important to a city than you might first realize...

@EcoEye Light rail for Galway should be a priority – an efficient, low-carbon solution to the current gridlock, and one that will cut air pollution.
