Irish People are willing to swap private car usage for more sustainable travel.
The government is being called on to refocus its spending on public transport infrastructure.
The call comes as a new survey revealed that the majority of Irish people are willing to swap private car use for sustainable travel.
The study, commissioned by the Department of Transport, found 77% of those interviewed believe walking, cycling and using public transport is more important than driving, for the benefit of the environment.
Athlone became home to Ireland's first fully electric town bus service in January of this year, following an investment of €10 million.
Climate activist and member of the UN Secretary General's Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change, Saoirse Exton says there needs to be a greater emphasis on providing public transport:
