First Glasgow has revealed it is bringing back weekend bus services in the run up to Christmas.
It will be offering a network of 11 routes covering travel from the city centre across Glasgow and the surrounding areas including Clydebank, Paisley, Newton Mearns, East Kilbride, Hamilton, Motherwell and Wishaw.
Graeme Macfarlan, Commercial Director, said: “We’re aware that citizens across the city have found getting home after a night out or indeed after a night shift a challenge, even more so in the face of the shortage of taxis that the city seems to be experiencing.
“We’re therefore proud to be able to support the city’s night-time economy, particularly during the crucial run up to the festive period, by being in the position to offer a network of night bus services at the weekend that will connect the city centre with most areas of Glasgow and beyond.”
There will be an introductory night bus fare of only £1.50 single for the first two weekends of operation on 3rd/4th and 10th/11 December.
Single fares will then be available from £3 afterwards.
Stuart Patrick, Chief Executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce said: “The night-time economy is critical to our city and particularly during the festive period, when more people will be out enjoying Glasgow’s fantastic retail and hospitality offerings, we warmly welcome the return of the night schedule for First Glasgow.
“With many missing out on annual festive events last year, we hope that the re-introduction of this affordable transport option will help encourage more people to come into the city centre, supporting businesses as they continue to recover from the pandemic.”
