Should the government invest in the development of smart transportation infrastructure?

No

Yes, especially with the LEAP card, and don't make it so long to receive one. You should be able to pay with card for everything transport. You should be charged like the Dutch Public Transport System, by distance, instead of a fixed amount to go 1 or 10 stops.
There has to be a train connection to and from Dublin Airport. The metrolink is decades away. Just build a twice an hour train between Dublin airport to a DART station. You could even allow the train to ride across the road like the LUAS.

Absolutely, the luas and the dublin bus are useless

Yes, but only if it is properly implemented and funding is spent correctly

No, they need to worry about getting what we have better before looking into smart transportation.

I think we should focus on public transport rather than private transport

yes but it is not the most important issue at hand

Need to invest in current transport infanstructure first

They should as long as the system works efficiently and has little risk of failing

There's more infrastructure that requires investment not just Dublin

it is not a major issue that the taxpayers money should be going towards, there are many more pressing issues to attend to first.

If smart refers to autonomous cars and such, no. It should instead invest more into public transit, buses and trams etc. Cars will not fix anything and will in fact make it worse

They should add basic transportation infrastructure in rural areas first

Yes as along as their is heavy human interaction with these new infrastructures

Look in to the maintainance costs and if it can be improved over time to almost self sustaining then yes

Yes but more investment into rural roads as opposed to all money being spent on Dublin.

Money could be being spend elsewhere like in medical cases or in homelessness

The government should certainly invest in upgrades in infrastructure, but it would be more cost effective and probably better for the environment to upgrade Ireland's railway system. Trains are the best way to move people, reducing congestion

When it comes to transportation, what’s more important to you: lower costs, fewer accidents, or reduced travel time?

How might smart transportation impact the jobs of people who work in traditional traffic management or driving roles?

Do you think improving public transportation through technology is more important than investing in smart roads for cars?

Do you believe that technology can make roads safer, or do drivers have the ultimate responsibility for safety?

How would your daily commute change if all traffic lights and cars could 'talk' to each other?

Could relying too much on automated systems in transportation make us more vulnerable to technical failures?

Would you feel comfortable letting a smart system control your car during heavy traffic?

How do you think smart transportation could affect people in rural areas versus cities?

In what ways do you think smart technology could improve environmental sustainability in transportation?

If smart roads could reduce traffic but cost a lot of money to implement, would it still be worth it?
