Charles Bianconi (24 September 1786 – 22 September 1875)[1] was an Italo-Irish entrepreneur. Sometimes described as the "man who put Ireland on wheels",[2][3] he developed a network of horse-drawn coaches that became Ireland's "first regular public transport" system.[2][4] He eventually became known for his innovations in transport and was twice mayor of Clonmel, in County Tipperary.[1]
