| Comment | 1 First Buses that travel along a common core route but branch off to different termini share a number. Their route is distinguished by a letter. For example the 4 goes to Newton Mearns. 4A goes to Eaglesham.
Each company can set their own route number so you might find that McGills have a 38 and First have a 38 that go totally different directions.
2 The drivers can be grumpy or a lot of them can’t actually hear you through the 2 inch ned proof shield they sit behind. If you are buying a single ticket state your fare or destination. If you buy a day or weekly ticket, just ask for whatever ticket you want. If it helps with your anxiety you can buy your ticket in advance on the first bus mTicket app. Then just scan the QR code when you board.
3 bus companies in Glasgow are suffering from major staff shortages at the moment due to covid, sickness and people leaving the industry in their droves.
4 if you use First bus get the first bus app for route planning. |
