A Sinn Féin plan to deliver affordable, reliable and safe public transport includes making the 20 per cent fare reduction permanent.
The party also wants a dedicated policing unit to deal with crime on the likes of buses, trains and trams.
The motion will be up for debate in the Dáil today.
Longford Westmeath TD Sorca Clarke says "we unfortunately know all too well in Longford Westmeath how many communities are let down by transport networks that are patchy, subject to several delays or simply feel unsafe to travel on. It isn’t good enough. We need to see a public transport system delivered that meets communities’ needs here in Longford Westmeath. This must include affordable fares, reliable
services and a transport police unit to ensure that all passengers can feel safe on their journeys.
Her party colleague and Transport spokesperson, Darren O'Rourke, says they want to see cheaper fares:
