Commuting in Dublin City 1979 July 29, 2025 Admin Old Dublin </p> <h2>Commuting in Dublin City 1979</h2> <p> Six commuters tested different modes of transport—bicycle, car, bus, train, scooter, and walking—to determine the fastest way from Dun Laoghaire to Dublin city centre during rush hour. With traffic congestion worsening and car speeds averaging just eight miles per hour, the city struggles to handle its daily influx of 480,000 vehicles. Each commuter faced unique obstacles, highlighting the inefficiency of cars in heavy traffic, the unpredictability of public transport, and the advantages of alternative travel methods.<br /> Broadcast 30 January 1979<br /> Credit to : Old Ireland Restored </p> <p> Please support our Sponsors here --
