On public transport, the Progressive Democrats Party promised that the two Luas lines would be on schedule to open for service by the end of 2003 and the network would be expanded so that three additional sections would be operational by 2006. There was also a clear commitment to the provision of a national waterways system. Fianna Fáil, for its part, was strong on the idea of lower pricing for public transport around peak travel times. Dublin light rail would be introduced between Tallaght and Connolly Stations and between Sandyford and St. Stephen's Green on schedule by October 2003. The party was fully committed to implementing the national roads programme provided for in the national development plan.
