The €600m BusConnects plan for Cork, which involves 75km of bus lanes and 54km of cycling and walking infrastructure, will involve difficult decisions requiring "political will" from local authorities to get over the line.
That is according to Environment and Transport Minister, Eamon Ryan, who was in Cork to unveil the scheme along with National Transport Authority (NTA) and Cork City Council leaders.
