A 4% modal share for cycling in 2040 is not at all ambitious enough.
Cork can and will reach this figure and beat it within the coming few years through the fast-paced delivery of cycling infrastructure in the city and suburbs.
The ball is firmly in Cork City Council's court to deliver high quality infrastructure in order to encourage more and more to cycle wherever possible.
The same goes for public transport - 25% in my opinion isn't ambitious enough either. To say that in 20 years time 50% of the general population of Cork will still be commuting by private car is not good enough, and will certainly not help us achieve our transport & emissions goals. Quality bus and rail corridors are needed, with frequent services and affordable ticketing across all routes. All areas of the city need to be served. Some areas which are only a ten to fifteen minute journey away, like Whites Cross or Grenagh, for example, are served by two buses *A WEEK*! Who can rely on that?! Much more ambition is needed here please both in terms of public transport and cycling uptake going into the future.
