I appreciate your reply, but I don't think you quite took my point the problem with M8 congestion is bigger than people trying to get to the city centre.

As the bus corridor page states, it's to ease access to the city centre for those areas. For my journey, the introduction of a bus route to central or queen street has no effect.

Maryhill Road makes perfect sense. It can be a 20-40 minute walk to the nearest train station from places in that area and thus introducing a bus route could provide incentive to get people who live in those areas to choose public transport over their car. However, it doesn't address what I was saying that relatively local journeys are still a nightmare in Glasgow that cars have a huge advantage over.

Those solutions are fine for people who live in Glasgow and are traveling outwith it (like Edinburgh or Livingston) or within the city centre but not for people traveling through or around it which I believe is the grand majority of traffic.
