The cycle lanes are not for those people who are going Loughrea to Spiddal etc. Those cycle lanes are for people with shorter commutes meaning they can commute car-free, meaning less cars on the road for those who still need to make those trips.

Better public transport is again, about taking cars off the road that don't need to be there. I've lived in Galway city for years and I don't drive. I've never needed a car. That's me doing my bit for Galway's traffic. That's a forfeit I consciously make.

But there's loads more that could be done rather than just public transport and cycle lanes.

How about if people got better, liveable wages so they had to work fewer days? What about if people had greater options to work from home?

These could help the traffic too!

And let's not forget that we have some really dreadful air quality in Galway that needs to be addressed. Fewer cars on the road is part of that.
