Overview


As there are Four Main Commuter Nodes of

Galway City these are adequate points of

reference as the four main entry points of

inward commuting traffic into Galway City on a

daily basis. The four main nodes are based on the fringes of the City- Oran Mor, Baile Chlair, Maigh Cuilinn, Bearna and the surrounding District Electoral Divisions outward have been counted via the Small Area Population Statistics C.S.O. , these entry points validate the commuting numbers which have been under examination by many stakeholders and institutions over the past few decades. To validate the introduction of a socially comprehensive, economically fair and environmentally friendly transport proposal . The public transport option which the AGP Ireland will promote and devote to applying a lifesaving catalyst for the People of Galway County and City is the Solas Uirbeach Iarnrod na Gailliimhe Light Rail System. To highlight the four entry points of congestion from inward traffic will be represented individually to present an ingestible understanding for the reader in addition there will be Media Reports which validate the numbers. All number are calculated and contrived from CSO Census 2011 Small Area Population Maps with the Layer District Electoral Division and Commuting Statistics, I have chosen the options of Four Wheeled , Fossil Fuel running vehicle ranging from Bus,Car,Car Passenger,Van,Lorry/Other all figure are available at this link; http://census.cso.ie/sapmap2011/Results.aspx?Geog_Type=ED&Geog_Code=27060&CTY=27#T11_1101 The browser will have navigate the SAPS Map on their personal knowledge to upload each District Electoral Division individually.


Daytime Working Population of Galway = 41,492 Public Transport Solution ;


Light Rail ; Solas Uirbeach Iarnrod na Gaillimhe(SUIG)

This is a Line/Stop representation of the SUIG system which

aims to serve all spatial urban uses from Industrial,

Commercial, Residential, Educational, Recreational and

more..


Topographic Version- SUIG System

All line functions and serving are explained within the text

boxes annotated on the map.

The Residential West and Working in the East interchange

is also serviced within this system.


Preliminary Benefits of The SUIG System The initial macro design maps, out the linking of the tram lines initiated from all the main four commuter nodes in the hinterland of Galway City, with a view to :

• Eradicating Traffic Volumes • Providing Sufficient Infrastructure prior to Population Growth • Providing a Cheaper, Greener, Leaner Public Transport Solution • A system which will reap huge profits for the city when it has paid for

itself in 6-7 years(77,048 daily commuters+Adult Day Return@€5=100million per annum)

• Reducing the Carbon Footprint • Lowering and Stabilizing people's relative daily expenditure i.e. instead

of fossil fuel purchase , frequent ticket purchase would be more economical

• Enhancing the likelihood of Galway becoming a Major example of a "Green City"

• Attracting future investment of Foreign Direct Investment by providing less stressful infrastructure for the Labour force

• Increasing the the annual Tourist Numbers and further boosting the Local Economy

• Encouraging Social Cohesion • Encouraging assimilation of Non-Nationals to Irish Culture • Service and Hospitality Sector Job Creation by the domino effect of

this being built

All the while bringing the network to centre without compromising the Architectural Heritage of Galway City, due to these traits holding long term reciprocal factors that aid maintenance of the concept.

Costings for a Sustainable Long Term Economical and Environmental Transport Solution

“ The 520 million Implementation/Construction costs for a Full LRT are most likely to better secured post 2015 ” MVA Consultancy ;Galway Public Transport Study, Section 9, March 2010. The Fleet costs are calculated from Ansaldo Breda Sirio trams priced at €2.44 million per tram fleet required is 29 based on (http://www.finmeccanica.com/en/-/goteborg-ordina-25-tram-sirio-ansaldobreda-per-un-valore-di-61-milioni-di-euro)

Total Fleet Cost = €70 million

� Stops/Depots/Park and Rides x 600 spaces = 6 million

� Facilitating Hybrid Bus lines x 2 = 4,700,000

Total Implementation Costs ; €600,000,000


Remuneration of Costs and Large Long Term Profit Return

Using the TUBA transport Calculation Matrix (http://tuba.software.informer.com/), The annualisation of Profits is worked from the precedent of a €5 Daily Adult Return Full Access ticket The Total Commuting Numbers have already been counted at 77,048 via the SAPS;CSO(2011) DED Commuting Figures. Working off this basis we annualize the ticket spend on the Adult Daily Return Ticket @ €5 (77,048) x 5 (Mon-Fri) x 52 weeks = €100,162,400 This is the Annual Gross Profit estimate per annum for this system, this price precedent has n’t included Peak Tourist Season, Weekends and School Tickets The Renumeration has also not included In Carriage Advertising revenue. Preliminary Overhead Costs would amount to: Wages = €3,657,500 29 Drivers @ €30,000 per annum = €870,000 per annum Management x 3 @ €60,000 per annum = €180,000 Administration x 50 @ €23,000 per annum = €1,150,000 Security x 15 @ €21,500 per annum = €322,500 Tram Maintenance Staff x 29 @ €35,000 =€1,015,000 Accountant x 2 @ €60,000 = €120,000 Preliminary Net Profits = € 96,400,000 Incentivized Travel for OAP’S, Disabled and First Level Students has n’t been included.
