Car Free Day

   What a load of crap! Why choose to hold a car free day at this time of year - why not summertime when it is more likely to be a nice day and the schools are off? Management in Dublin bus neet lobotomies if they think that a good incentive to get people out of their cars would be to give free travel between 10am & 4pm. (apparently they are giving away 20,000 1-way tickets but not really announcing where to get them!).
Why on earth would I give up my car with all its comforts to sit beside some stranger on the bus (after waiting an eternity in this rain) or get the sub-3rd-world train (after waiting an eternity in this rain)?
Jebus, I didn't even know about it until I heard the news in my car this morning!
Apparently there is a (minimal) website for this rubbish (somehow I don't think the photo of the kids playing at the launch of car free day today was taken in todays weather!).
