Poll: Would you be in favour of Ireland having free public transport?

It would cost about €600 million a year, but would it be worth it?

FROM TODAY, LUXEMBOURG becomes the first country in the world tomorrow to offer a free public transport system.

The move is designed to encourage people to use public transport in a country that has low usage by international standards.

Last year, Transport Minister Shane Ross said that introducing free public transport in this country would cost the exchequer €600 million a year. Today we’re asking if you think that’s worth it?
