A business journey I'm doing soon can either take 1hr 45mins by public transport (in and out of Dublin), or 25mins by car.
It should be easier and faster to use public transport.

Is it a direct journey or a cross-city/multi mode journey? I agree with your point but I guess some journeys will inevitably be quicker by private direct transport. To me the problem seems to be that people see even the direct journeys as taking a lot longer!

It took us < 30 mins to get pretty much anywhere in Paris from anywhere on public transport, It makes Dublin look like a joke given the scale

Even when not for Dublin we have these issues in Germany for several smaller cities or out of the outer city rim.

Eating time accumulates by waiting 5-10 min on every change, total numbers of inter stops.

From suburb to suburb or across my city it is 90 min, by car 25 min, +10 min with traffic jam, which will also affect buses.

I'm Irish living in Limoges, I'm lucky. I walk to work, as does one of my sons. The other and my wife take the bus and my daughter takes the train twice a week because she is a boarder in another town. We are so lucky. When I lived in Dublin I took the train, later the dart except when we had a week of snow in the 80's and I walked 13 km to work.
Public transport or cycling is the only answer to the climate changes. Campaign against the car and for public transport.

yes at the time there were no snow ploughs in Dublin. I was obviously dedicated to my work!
