AMBITION AND INVESTMENT are the keys to unlocking Ireland’s potential when it comes to public transport, according to Episode 5 of The Good Information Podcast.

The latest episode in our 15-part series takes a look at the state of public transport in Ireland, and what ideas are on the table to improve accessibility, efficiency and sustainability. 

The Journal reporter Lauren Boland joins host Susan Daly to discuss how we can provide smart, user-friendly public transport – and what we can learn from European cities that have prioritised local, frequent public transport over individual car journeys. Some of the more ambitious suggestions include congestions charges, and a moratorium on building roads altogether.

Episode 5 of The Good Information Podcast is available below, and anywhere you get your podcasts.
