Fury over bus fare rises
GLASGOW'S main bus operator, First, has increased fares for the second time in less than a year. Some fares - such as an unaccompanied child's all-day ticket - have gone up 25%.
Other tickets, such as a single fare from Scotstoun or Battlefield into the city centre, are up 8%.
Weekly and four-weekly passes have soared by nearly 10% in some cases.
The price of a "value" two-journey or return ticket, valid after 9am, has risen from £2.50 to £2.85, up 14%.
This means that, since August 1 last year, the price of the two-journey ticket has increased 42.5% - from £2 to £2.85.
