| Comment | Unfortunately our transport "system" is a fragmented mess. There's a lot of choice and of trains, the subway circle and various bus companies to get you where you're going, but none of it's connected ticket-wise.
So for visitors like yourself it can be quite easy to accidently overspend by hopping on different modes or bus types.
First Bus is the single biggest operator in Glasgow. If you'll be travelling in and around the city by bus a lot, you can buy day tickets from the driver. Exact change if paying by cash (sorry), but you can also pay by card on the bus.
Worth knowing though that you can now just tap your credit card on the pad next to the driver when you step on the bus, and tap it on the black scanner near the door when you leave. This tracks your journey length and limits what you're charged, capping at a maximum daily spend. |
