Luas-style light rail proposed under ambitious €3.5bn transport plan

The National Transport Authority says it hopes to achieve some quick-wins on the bus and rail network once its ambitious €3.5bn transport strategy for the greater Cork area is adopted.

While the Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS) includes proposals for a €1bn, 25-stop light rail system linking Ballincollig to Mahon via a new docklands bridge, the most immediate improvements will be linked to the bus, rail, and cycle networks.
