Ferry taxi would take us back to the future

I WELCOME your report headlined ‘€30m ferry taxi moves a step closer’ (September 1).

This proposal I have pursued over many years at Midleton Town Council and Cork County Council, without success. I am pleased east Cork has received recognition with Aghada and Cobh listed in the proposed development. This ferry service will help greatly to relieve the traffic congestion on our roads.

While Bus Éireann has promised a better service to Whitegate/Aghada when more buses become available, the present service — four a day each way Cork/Whitegate — is totally inadequate in a rapidly expanding area.
