Solidarity - People Before Profit says they would introduce free public transport for all if they get into government.
The party has launched its green policy, promising to spend €7.1 billion a year on environmental policies.
They say they would add 500 electric buses to the public transport fleet every year until 2030 to make it "frequent and free".

Elsewhere, they're proposing a pollution tax on airline corporations, an investment in cycle lanes and electrifying the rail network.
In agriculture, they're putting forward proposals including reducing the dairy herd by 50% while compensating farmers with a "New Green Payment".
Elsewhere, the party says they would close all coal and peat-fired power stations while retraining staff on full pay.
They're also pledging the introduction of a state building company to undertake a major retrofitting of the country's housing stock, as well as grants of an average of €30,000 to cover retrofitting private homes.
TD Ruth Coppinger said free public transport would be a key part of their climate measures.
Speaking in Dublin today, she said: "We've put forward the demand - we think we're the only grouping in the Dáil [to do so] - for free public transport as an immediate measure to tackle climate change and to help people get out of their cars.
"[We're proposing] free public transport for all, by the way - not just for students, which the Green Party is putting forward."
