Sólás Uirbeach Iarnrod na Gaillimhe (Comforting/Reassuring Urban Rail of Galway) (SUIG) was a third and separate proposal made in 2014 and has continued to present the most robust proposal to date, being reconised by the National Planning Framework, Galway Integrated Traffic Management Plan and in the Eltis program hosted by the European Union. The S.U.I.G Proposal had also modified to compromise all factions concerning transport endeavors, by presenting a Bus Rapid Transit option, this aim sought to appease both pro and anti bypass groups. The system was design and created by Joseph Francis Kelly, a leading transport advocate and researcher based in London and Ireland. His Non Governmental Organisation, The Atlantic Greenway Project or AGP Ireland and U.K. has also branched out to design Cycling Infrastructure Proposal , most recently the Lea Lee Epping Cycle Circular.

The most recent Public Transport proposal had been an upgrade of S.U.I.G Bus Rapid Transit, which is called the Uilleann Bus -Nasc Iompair Pobail (Elbow Bus- Public Transport Connect), this proposal had been styled on the Low Floor Tram like Bus Rapid Transit Models, commonly found in Belgium, France and the Netherlands.
