With the recent update about the scrapping of the shuttle bus across the new bridge in Waterford City, I decided to make mockups of what a more ambitious but more realistic public transport solution could look like!

The Waterford Luas:

Out doorknocking down the road in Meadowbank - it was great chatting with the many residents who were fed up of 100 years of FF and FG, and who wanted a radical change to a more democratic and decentralised system where We All Thrive!

Going poster fishing 🎣

There's still one on the Doneraile that I wasn't able to retrieve - I never put any up near the doneraile so it must have been one of the 14 which people nicked 🙃 but let me know if anyone finds any others!

Hmm so it turns out that if you build affordable co-op and public housing, and provide great public transport and healthcare in a city, people love living there 🤔🤔

Someone should let those in power here know about this big revelation!

I took a break from the count centre yesterday to head out and start taking down posters - I got about half of the 60 down yesterday and plan to take down the other half today!
