Irish Examiner view: Baby-step climate change measures no longer an option

No such thing as free public transport — like water, it has to be paid for one way or the other

The suggestion in an Oireachtas report that a free public transport system should be costed to encourage uptake of public transport may sound progressive and cheering. Unfortunately, it is so unambitious that it is neither. 

Though just one element of wider plans to change our habits, it is belated and suggests climate measures can be embraced without pain.
