Cork Transport plan delivery ‘about choice’ says head of National Transport Authority

Tough choices will have to be made to allow delivery of a landmark €3.5bn transport strategy for the greater Cork area which includes a €1bn tram system and a €700m plan to upgrade the bus, rail, and bike networks.

And the region will need that level of investment in public transport if it is to meet ambitious Government targets of becoming the fastest-growing city region in the country, with population growth of some 60% by 2040.
