The thinking behind my delineated route was that it could provide a direct means of getting to Braehead (shopping for the ladies), Southern General (doctors for the hypochondriacs), Govan X (good point for public transport links, or so I'm told), Science Centre/Imax (for education/entertainment), The Quay (for entertainment), Sheriff Court (for the naughty), Glasgow Green (for, er, a walk?), City Centre (for Mon-Fri commuters), SECC (for gigs/shows/etc), etc (well maybe not etc - I couldn't think of any other examples of particular purpose).
How would you change the route to go through populated areas without losing some of the potential key 'stops' listed above or unduly extending the completion time for a circuit? I think, given the reason for (considering) introducing the service, it makes sense for the route to 'hug' the river as much as possible.
