Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Decarbonising Transport: Discussion
Mr. Andrew Murphy:
Making public transport either free or lower cost needs to sit alongside making it more efficient and making sure people are not sitting in buses that may be free but are stuck in traffic along with other cars. We need a holistic approach to free public transport, with price being just one aspect. The Government has a 2:1 commitment in favour of sustainable transport and I hope this will improve the public transport system over time.
