| Comment | It's already happening, for buses at least. Set to be delivered across all bus operators by 2024.
I think the plan is for it to hook up with Subway ticketing soon enough, which is operated by SPT and so not a big leap.
Trains are more difficult and complicated as you need to untangle the pricing scheme. Need to remember that we don't have a Glasgow centric rail service, and that all trains that serve Glasgow are in effect national trains which merely stop here.
Prices and subsidies for routes are set on a national basis.
Short of totally rebranding and allocating control and ownership of our suburban trains to a Glasgow city or regional operator, you need to figure out how to weave the national ScotRail ticketing system with that of the new bus & subway one.
Can definitely be done, but it requires agreement from a lot of stakeholders and direction to make it happen. |
