Episode Details

Galway’s future on wheels is getting a major upgrade as the National Transport Authority revives the Galway Metropolitan Area Transportation Strategy—this time with light rail on the table. Building on 2016’s plan, the new GMATS will map out a connected, sustainable transport network covering walking, cycling, buses, trains, and roads, with public feedback kicking off early next year. New research shows locals already prefer walking, cycling, or public transit over driving—making Galway a more livable city. A 2023 feasibility study found light rail could serve 7.5 million riders annually, with an east-west corridor looking most promising. City council and NTA are aligned to make this vision a reality by 2027.
