😮 Jerry “CSD supporter” Buttimer after 5 Minutes in city council and still wet behind the ears now proposes that Cork City Council withdraw the 10 million funding for Green Bus routes in the city as they do not work. This according to the councilor willing to jump on any 3 wheeled bandwagon to get his name in the papers, plus
all this guff from a councilor that cribbed to the City Manager on 25th April 2005 about the temporary closure of the No.8 Green Route outside the CUH to allow for the realignment of a kerb for safety reasons.
We really do get a “special” type of local representative here in Cork? :rolleyes:

Agree with you and Buttimer (shudder to say it!). I think most of the green routes have been a phenomenal waste of money and are completely ineffective. I am in favour of them, but only if done right, and that includes increasing bus frequencies to a point where the bus lane is an efficient use of finite road space.
