Public Transport

Public transport services in Glasgow are provided by SPT and consist of a circular underground line with 15 stations and a range of train and bus routes. There are several ticket options including day passes for both the city and the surrounding areas. Subway tickets can be purchased at any underground station: a single ticket is at a fixed price and takes you to any station of the network. Bus tickets are available to purchase from the driver on board (have the exact change ready). Smartcards are a great way to save time and money and are a convenient solution for both commuters and visitors.
