@sinz54@the_transit_guy The airports are not in the city, they are usually an hour away by bus. Worse, you will spend at least an hour going through airport security. Train travel takes you from one city to another, with minimal fuss. Much better!
@BelfastUrbanist @studio_ni@BelfastLive Troubles era had the city centre pedestrianised, so that's one good thing. Distributing services to different stations would be better than sticking it all in bt12 and ignoring the rest.
@BelfastUrbanist @studio_ni@BelfastLive Translink could have Distributed the GVS services to local hubs: enterprise to lanyon, more to Lisburn and Corp St. Also, link to the 3 airports. Vast improvement.
@IdeaspaceNI Sounds like you are blaming the victims. The council binmen are the ones who refuse to put the bins back properly. I mean, these days nobody seems to know about alphabetical order, but the binmen do not even try to make an effort. They just leave them all over the place.
@BladeoftheS 2 shifts - Saturday and Sunday. 1 is sun, Mon Tues and alternate Wednesdays. Other is every other Wednesday, plus every Thursday Friday Saturday. Everyone wins.
@reido90@CircleLineBT We have had a post scarcity civilization for the last couple of centuries, since the industrial revolution. We need to invent new ways to circulate money, because supply has outpaced demand.
@CircleLineBT@pcarlin70 Land value tax means that the landlord pays for empty property, which incentivises them to maximise the utility. More property will be available nearer cost price, which encourages competitive pricing.
@bobflemming2021 @SASR666 Do we have an issue with the Germans coming over illegally in boats? We did in the 1940s, and since farage built his image on the Dunkirk spirit I think it's pretty relevant.
@DaveRackliff@BladeoftheS Remove the political appointees from the house of Lords, the voting members should be educated people with work/life experience.
@Tommcwombat @RueDaungier@TadhgHickey@ReggieSydal You can't give London's Jewish community credit for helping the Ulster Scots people, because after Longshanks ethnically cleansed England it didn't have a Jewish community until Cromwell invited the Jewish people to return in the 1650s.
@NigelMcKinney @CaraHunterSDLP Maybe if we didn't limit free public transport to the elderly... The turnover is 200 million Β£ per annum, that's Β£200 a head per taxpayer. Totally reasonable to make it a flat tax affair and save money by removing the need to sell tickets.
@bradley_steve@CircleLineBT@IntoTheWestRail@Translink_NI U know that the lesson translink will take from this is to shift the hub from Coleraine to Ballymena, making everything closer to Belfast and further isolating anyone further north.
