Ireland Moving Toward Banning Cars In Cities

Drivers facing car ban in major towns under new transport plan Irish Independent

MOTORISTS could face a ban on driving through major towns and having to pay congestion charges as part of plans to encourage the use of public transport.


The National Transport Authority (NTA) is planning to introduce a ban on cars travelling through towns in Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow and Meath under a wide-ranging transport strategy for the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) published yesterday.

"The NTA will seek restrictions on general motorised traffic travelling through the heart of Dublin city centre and other town centres by diverting through traffic on to alternative routes," it said. "The authority will seek reductions in traffic speeds in town centres and the application of a 30kmh speed limit in the commercial and retail core of Dublin and other town and village centres."

The Government's Smarter Travel plan aims to reduce car commuting by half by 2020, and the only way to achieve this is to reduce demand "over a large geographical area".

The outgoing government said charges would not be introduced until public transport services improved, but the NTA said one way to overcome public resistance could be to reduce public transport fares to make bus and rail more attractive than the car.

re: "seek restrictions...the only way"

The "only way" to achieve absolute control over the global serfdom is to take away their ability to come and go as they please. Serfs driving automobiles definitely does not fit the NWO ideal hence the global phase-in of a "ban on cars". Here it is the government of Ireland with what they are calling "Smarter Travel".


Less than a year ago the U.S. government announced new policies* that are virtually the same as what the Irish government is now beginning to forward. This they called a "sea change away from the automobile". Two months prior** to that little announcement the U.S. government set the wheels in motion to clear the way for a planned nationwide system of bullet trains, i.e. 'public transport' designed to replace not only the automobile but air travel also. Although the bullet train PR campaign does not of course mention these little details, it definitely is in the fine print. Read the fine print. Note: out-of-control gas prices also come into play here.

*Transportation Secretary LaHood Announces "Sea Change" Of Move Away From Automobile 3-28-10 ""LaHood signed the new policy directive on March 11, the same day he attended a congressional reception for the National Bike Summit" ...Personal freedom via the automobile will not be tolerated by the evil would-be masters of humanity, and the transition away from the personal automobile is now official policy in America 'the homeland'. Take note...The entire green-charade of climate change/global warming has been crafted ultimately for this very purpose - locking down people in so-called "livable communities" so as to control and own them as livestock. [see post]

NWO To Announce High-Speed Rail Network For U.S. 1-28-10 ""Today’s awards will serve as a down-payment on developing or laying the groundwork for 13 new, large-scale high-speed rail corridors across the country"...Question: What do these terms have in common: transform travel, game changer, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, livable communities? ...Answer: They are all code for the green agenda, i.e. the globalist plan to dominate and control all human activity on earth. Part of that plan is to herd the masses into 'urban centers' for management purposes. These urban centers across the land will then be divided into individual "livable communities"*. The 'urban centers' themselves will then be connected by "high speed rail", as seen in this White House press release. Fossil fuel [so called] dependence will be reduced because automobiles are to become obsolete, being replaced by public transport. This is what the NWO calls transforming travel. [see post]

Only the not-so-smart will fail to see through the "Smarter Travel" fallacy. Be smarter.
