The high level of complaints about public transport in Cork City is bad news for a number of reasons. As our story at the weekend reported, more than 2,700 complaints were made about the city’s bus service in 12 months. At a broader level, the dissatisfaction with the service does not bode well for government efforts to wrest us from behind the wheels of our car and onto public transport. Starting from an admittedly small base, the strategy refers to an objective of increasing daily public transport journeys by 130% between 2018 and 2030. It requires trust in the reliability of public transport.
