'Free buses' call

Green Party transport spokesperson Ciarán Cuffe has called on Dublin Bus to provide free bus travel for commuters during European Mobility week (16-22 September) to encourage more people to switch to public transport.

The week culminates in a car free day 'In town without my car' on September 22nd.

Mr Cuffe says it is a good opportunity to encourage some of those 64,000 who drive into the city during the morning peak hours, out of their cars and onto buses.
