The author argued that raising public transport fares was misguided, saying services should instead be free, frequent and reliable to encourage people to leave their cars behind and ease the cost-of-living crisis. They also described the privatisation of public transport as a disaster.
Instead of this, what are FF/FG doing? They're increasing public transport fares, trying to import fracked gas, and selling our water, electricity, and personal data out to big tech and their data centres! #CostOfLivingCrisis #CostOfGreed #CostOfLivingCrisis #PublicTransport #BigTech #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
What is the government doing instead? Increasing public transport fares, trying to import fracked gas, and selling our water, electricity, and data out to big tech and their data centres! #PublicTransport #BigTech #EnergyCrisis #Thetweetdoesnotmentionspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Instead of encouraging people onto public transport, they are driving people off it! Lowering fares and moving to free public transport should be a no-brainer, instead they're doing the opposite. In one fell swoop they are worsening the cost of living and climate crises! https://t.co/wCBu34R6wo #PublicTransport #CostOfLiving #ClimateCrisis #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet #sotherearenocountrycodestoreturn.
This government is putting up the cost of public transport, while.... 130 electric buses lie idle for 3 years because they have no chargers. https://t.co/NYyiQICFU4 #PublicTransport #ElectricBuses #GovernmentFailure #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
The government is putting up Carbon tax, they say, to push people into public transport. And then they put up the price of public transport which will push people back into cars. In reality its all about money. https://t.co/2AHIrNqtb7 #CarbonTax #PublicTransport #ClimateFinance #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Public transport should never become a health risk. During a heatwave, buses without working air conditioning are more than uncomfortable, they can be dangerous. 🚌🌡️ #PublicTransport #CommuterHealth #Heatwave #RGTR #PublicTransport #CommuterHealth #Heatwave #Nospecificcountrycodesarereferencedinthetweet.
Encouraging people to leave their cars at home only works if public transport remains fast and dependable, even across borders. #PublicTransport #BorderControls #CrossBorderCommuters #PublicTransport #CrossBorderCommuters #SustainableTravel #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedfromthetweet.
People are waking up and momentum is growing against data centres. Data centres are driving up prices for us all, while they only pay half the price for electricity that we do. Housing developments stalled, new electric buses can't be charged, more public transport delayed. https://t.co/M8prVCCAw8 #DataCentres #ElectricityCosts #PublicTransport #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
If people can't rely on buses to get to work, they will be forced to drive. This shows how important the rail line to Dublin is. https://t.co/s9sEjFtx2B #PublicTransport #Dublin #SustainableTravel #IE

Despite the grave dangers posed by relentless Russian drone attacks on public transport in Kherson, bus drivers continue to risk their lives daily to ensure residents, especially vulnerable individuals, have access to essential services, demonstrating a profound commitment to their community amid the ongoing war. #UkraineWar #PublicTransport #DroneAttacks
