Call for more investment in Cork cycling infrastructure

The latest census results have highlighted the need for more investment in public transport and cycling infrastructure in Cork, according to local representatives.

The numbers of Cork commuters choosing to either take public transport or cycle is below the national average, according to the Census figures released by the Central Statistics Office.

Just over 70% of Cork commuters travelled to work by car, compared to 65.6% nationally. While over 9% of working commuters used public transport in April 2016 — a figure that reaches 22% of working commuters in Dublin city and suburbs — only 8% in Cork City and suburbs said they used a bus or train to get to work.
