Details of 12 sustainable transport corridors designed to improve Cork City’s bus network and slash journey times in half will be unveiled today as part of the city’s €600m BusConnects plan.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) will publish a sustainable transport corridors report this morning setting out its “high-level” proposals for 75km of new bus lanes and 54km of cycle routes along a dozen strategic transport corridors that it says will help make the bus system operate more efficiently and make cycling safer.
