UK parliamentarians praise Ireland's public transport initiatives

New initiatives rolled out across public transport in Ireland in recent years have included dozens of new local link routes across Ireland.

Ireland’s recent transport initiatives such as reduced public transport fares and increased rural links have been praised by UK parliamentarians, who say such measures should be rolled out in England.

A report published by the Commons transport committee — the equivalent of an Oireachtas committee in Ireland — singled out Ireland for praise in its approach to public transport as it seeks to reform its own bus services.
