Posted: Tue May 20, 2008 4:36 pm
Just like the Subway today thread, thought this would be a relevent thread for all the up to date happenings in the Public transport bus network and all its goings on in and around the city.

Starting off with the Bus fare rises.
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.
