The preliminary business case (PBC) for implementation of Luas Finglas.
The Greater Dublin Area (GDA) must meet growing demand for public transport derived from population growth and to meet policy goals for sustainable mobility and climate action. Public transport is a key consideration in supporting the planning and supply of residential development required to meet Dublin’s housing challenge. To avoid unsustainable urban sprawl associated with car dependency, improved public transport is required within the footprint of existing urban areas for the benefit of existing and future communities.
Extension of the Luas Green Line from Broombridge to Charlestown via Finglas
Luas Finglas is a 3.9km extension of the Luas Green Line from Broombridge to Charlestown via Finglas with a 350-space Park & Ride facility located just off the M50 at St. Margarets Road. The alignment is primarily off-road and segregated from traffic providing a high-quality public transport service. In the year of opening, Luas Finglas will provide for a tram in each direction every 7.5 minutes during peak times with an approximate journey time of 30 minutes from Charlestown to Trinity College.
