€600m investment planned for Cork public transportInvestment aims to create 75km of new, dedicated bus lanes to the north, west and south of the city, as well as 54km of new cycling and walking infrastructure No doubt to be opposed by motorist groups who are terrified of being inconvenienced in the slightest, despite it being for the greater good.
