Backtracking to the title of this thread (and away from buses in Cork):
is anyone out there able to provide a short policy statement of what FF, FG, PD and Labour officially think about or propose to do about urban transport in Ireland (inclusive of Cork) ?
These are the Parties who, in less than a year, will be looking for the votes public transport users. It would be great to know what their official policies are on public transport prior to that knock on the door.
With a policy statement at hand, transport users can address the issues posed (or avoided) by each single Party. And help vote for the Party that seems most interested in the "cause".
No small matter, given that Ireland has ths political system the country is stuck with, often geared more to farmers' interests (as was mentioned) than how do we efficiently move a million people to work/school in the morning?
