There has been a broad welcome for the draft new bus network plan for Cork with advocates calling for swift and coherent delivery to ensure buy-in from the public.
But it has emerged that only 5% of people who fed into the public consultation on the draft plan since July were aged over 65, despite this cohort comprising 13% of the population. People aged 66 and over enjoy free public transport.
