Get Glasgow Moving

Get Glasgow Moving Join our campaign for world-class, fully-integrated & affordable public transport for our region ๐Ÿš๐Ÿš‡

Most people in Glasgow rely on public transport to get around (only 49% of households have cars), yet our public transport network is a total mess:

โ€ข Private bus companies continue to cut our vital services and increase fares so that theyโ€™re completely unaffordable.
โ€ข Glasgow Subway (built in 1896) still only serves a tiny area of our city and is the only underground in the whole world never to have been extended: you.38degrees.org.uk/p/glasgowtube
โ€ข Our overground trains are operated by a company (Abellio) owned by the Dutch state (not ours!)
โ€ข And our bike hire is run by a private company (Nextbike GmbH) based in Germany...

Compare this to Edinburgh, where publicly-owned Lothian Buses are popular with residents offering a comprehensive service and affordable fares. And compare this to London, where publicly-owned Transport for London operate a fully-integrated network with โ€œOystercardโ€ smartcard tickets (in use since 2003) making it so simple to change between buses, tubes, trains and bikes. They also have ambitious plans for expansion over the coming decades: crossrail2.co.uk

Glasgow deserves better! Come and help build the citywide Public Transport campaign we need to make it happen.

We welcome Strathclyde's new ยฃ2 fare cap ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐Ÿช™ But without public control of our bus network, this will only address half of the problem ๐ŸšŒ It will do nothing to improve bus services, create new routes or integrate timetables and tickets with other transport modes ๐Ÿš๐Ÿš‡๐Ÿš†

It will mean another huge increase in public subsidy to private bus companies without transparency and accountability ๐Ÿ’ธ
