Park and ride has been an objective of the city development plan since 2005 but has never been rolled out. No Government has ever insisted it be rolled out as part of a sustainable solution. Everything is reactive and the simpler solutions should be tried before we spend a minimum of €30 million per kilometre for a 16.5 km route that will add huge congestion to the roads. Is there any way to hold the system to account in Galway and to ask why park and ride has not been rolled out? Has the TII looked at light rail as a solution?
