The use of green transport in Cork continues to lag significantly behind other cities in the country, with less than a quarter of journeys into the city made via sustainable methods such as cycling or public transport.

Surveys conducted by the National Transport Authority in 2024 across Ireland’s five major urban centres show that the three Munster cities —Cork, Waterford, and Limerick — are a lot further behind Galway and Dublin in terms of embracing green transport methods.
