Cork and Galway to get bus lanes
12/05/2003 - 13:58:33Cork and Galway are set to get bus lanes for the first time.
The government is planning to spend €3m on bus lanes - similar to those in Dublin - for Cork, with funding being allocated for similar facilities in Galway from next year.
The announcement was made during the launch of new national traffic management guidelines by the Minister for Transport Seamus Brennan.
He says resistance to the capital's first bus lanes over 20 years ago has long since vanished.
Minister Brennan says that the money is there now for the new public transport initiative but that it might not be there in future.
