Greens have a long track record in promoting public transport

The Galway Greens have a long track record in promoting many of the ideas now being toted as new such as light rail for Galway and the Western Rail Corridor. It looks like after 10 or so years campaigning NGO’s (some with a long established hard working track record, others much more recent) are taking the baton and that political parties who initially had no interest are finally catching on that good public transport is a necessity.
However, we’re still a very long way short of where we need to be in providing mass transit for the public. Progress in more economically strained times now depends to a large degree on how willing Government partners FF are to understand and accept that the bang for your buck in public transport projects is far superior to that of road projects.
Here’s a link which highlights our historical stance in supporting public transport.
