A union representing public transport workers has written to the Taoiseach and other party leaders calling for radical changes to Ireland's transport system.

The National Bus and Rail Union says public transport cannot work with social distancing if it goes back to pre-Covid norms.

It is calling for the Metro and Bus Connects projects to be abandoned. The NBRU says there will need to be significant changes to public transport systems to accommodate even reduced levels of morning and evening commuters.

It is suggesting staggered opening times for schools, colleges and workplaces and also for increased incentives for people to work from home.
