Shared a few thoughts w @CorkEveningEcho on public transport & learnings from other cities as Cork develops🚊🚲🚍🚶‍♂️

[Sarah Thatt-Foley @ST_Foley]

N22 somewhere outside Killarney. 2 hours from Killarney - Cork going steady but slow #sneachta

Voted in #GE24 yesterday, attended the Everyman Christmas panto today, and roast dinner planned for tomorrow.

If Danish me could see me know 😅

@itaintwhywhywhy @sarajcox Omg I’ve never seen this! 😂 I was picturing her being stalked by a load of little people trying to bite her knees, while also thinking she was mental and very inappropriate 🫣 ( she was actually lovely)

@JimGael5 See that’s the thing - we *are* served by public transport and I’m happy to use it, but as described here, what’s supposed to be in place isn’t working. While we do share a car, there are plenty of people who do not have an alternative option.

📖 A tale about public transport with a baby in Cork.

Today I wanted to attend a baby yoga class 7 km from my house, or a 10minute drive.

There’s no direct bus from Glanmire to Glounthaune, and baba is still too small for the bike, so I’ll get the 214 bus & the commuter train

[Sarah Thatt-Foley @ST_Foley]

@dontmindme41 245 bus goes from city to Fermoy via Glanmire and Watergrasshill but nope, nothing East so only option is connecting via city centre.

@AracerRacer I have my eye on a Hauck trailer to use as soon as he is 6 months. It will do fine for local trips at least although I wouldn’t cycle into the city with that setup, unfortunately.

@maccraith3 Do you regularly comment on the appearance of babies?

[Sarah Thatt-Foley @ST_Foley]

@fionake95392153 Thoughts and prayers 🥴

[Sarah Thatt-Foley @ST_Foley]

@JohnnyNoCash1 Quite the contrary. I specifically chose to live in an area in cycling distance to the city, close to rail, and serviced by busses. As per schedule there’s a bus every 20 mins. Except that’s not what’s happening on the ground.

[Sarah Thatt-Foley @ST_Foley]

@Ralph1174434282 A yoga class where you can bring your baby. God knows our postpartum bodies need some TLC - and good for the head too.

[Sarah Thatt-Foley @ST_Foley]

@rorcorr We have one for the household. But relying on scheduled public transport in Ireland’s second city shouldn’t be an unreasonable expectation.

[Sarah Thatt-Foley @ST_Foley]

@alloneworddotie @EoinBearla Lunging the pram across those steps certainly undid all stretches in the class!

[Sarah Thatt-Foley @ST_Foley]

@veronm78 I hear you. We’re a 4 person family, both work in the city, and have given up trying to get it home from work as it’s so unreliable so I mostly cycle now or carpool. The 8am departure from Glanmire also seems to no longer exist
