| Description |
Some 35,000 people used the Dublin Area Rapid Transit system on the opening day of July 23, 1984 -- far more than the 20,000 expected. Since then, the numbers using the capital's coastal public transport system every day stands at 90,000. This month (July 2009) the DART celebrated 25 years in service, with all but four of the 80 carriages delivered in late 1983 still in operation. The four missing carriages were destroyed in an arson attack. Built at a cost of IR£77m (€98m) -- €202m in today's money -- critics at the time said that the Government should never have invested so much into a system that would never be self-financing. They were wrong. DART currently breaks even. An iconic symbol of Dublin, the green carriages have inspired their own accent -- the infamous DORT twang -- and have featured in the work of author Roddy Doyle and poet Seamus Heaney. |
