Yesterday our friend Inaam showed us the nice Tram of Barcelona,
so i went through my Ireland-photos and found this one i had taken of the tram in Dublin.

********************************

Luas
(Irish for 'speed'), also promoted in the development
stage as the Dublin Light Rail System, currently
encompasses two unconnected on-street light rail lines
in Dublin, Ireland. It is one of 450 light rail systems
operating in cities around the world.

Originally under the organisation of Córas Iompair
Éireann, the project was moved to the Railway
Procurement Agency upon that body's inception, while it
is operated by Veolia Transport Ireland (formerly
known as Connex). The system is also often called a
tram network. The Luas is a major part of the Dublin
Transportation Office's strategy (2000-2016).

It is estimated that around 80,000 people use the Luas
daily; and, as of November 2006, over 50 million
journeys have been made on the system.

Services commenced on the Green Line on Wednesday 30
June 2004, with free fares for the first five days of
operation. The Red Line opened on 28 September 2004,
almost a month behind schedule. It remains to be seen
whether the Luas will prove effective in combating
Dublin's traffic congestion problems.

The Red and Green Lines are separate lines, with
separate depots and facilities, and fixed allocations
of trams; there is no simple method to transfer trams
between the two lines.
