Fianna Fáil promises to make public transport more affordable

Fianna Fáil has launched proposals to reduce traffic congestion, make public transport more affordable and improve planning for commuters.

The election promises include an annual tax credit amounting to €200, if commuters use their cars on toll routes during off-peak periods.

The party said this would redistribute around 30,000 cars from peak traffic periods. The toll saver could benefit 57,000 daily commuters at an annual cost of €7m for the exchequer.
