Iowa State goes to Ireland: Greenlee students compare Iowa to Ireland
Welcome to Nate and Tate in Dublin. I'm Nate and I'm Tate. Over the next 3 episodes, we're gonna be taking you on *** trip to Dublin with us and hopefully have some fun along the way. On today's episode of Nate and Tay in Dublin, we're talking transportation. Our first stop, we're in DART Central Station in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. DART has around 140 buses in their fleet. DART runs *** lot of peak only service, which means *** lot of their buses are running in the early mornings, afternoon, and later in the evening. DART is also seeing more riders travel throughout the day and even more local. Staying on the topic of buses, our next stop is Ames, Iowa. Even here, I would say university buses is the way to go to get around campus, just like the y ride right here. In Iowa, another form of transportation that's very popular is Uber. Just ask our Uber driver, Dan. Hop on in, guys. All right. OK Now it's time to head to Dublin, Ireland, and see what ways they get around. We're now here in Dublin, so let's look at some differences in the transportation. These are what the taxis look like in Ireland. You can either use the Free now app or the Uber app to call *** taxi to your location, and it will take you wherever you want to go. Walking around in Dublin, me and Tate noticed that taxis are definitely the most popular mode of transportation. These are what the trams look like in Ireland. It's *** very popular way to get around the city. You need *** TFI leap card once you get on the tram, and you scan it once you get off the tram. It's as simple as that. We're about to get on *** double decker. Let's do it. It Thank you. We chose to sit on the 2nd level of this double decker. It was *** great experience and something very new for me and Tate. It doesn't seem too high up once you're up there, although it does from the ground looking at the bus. This has been episode one of Maintain Dublin, talking transportation.
