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 h

ave 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.

Buses are lifeline for so many communities across Scotland. But in many places fares are far too expensive, vital routes have been cut and people just donโ€™t have access to the services they need.

Ahead of the Scottish Parliament election on Thursday 7 May, come and quiz candidates from Scotlandโ€™s main political parties about what they plan to do to deliver better buses.

On the panel we have:
โ€ข Zen Ghani, Scottish National Party (SNP) candidate for Glasgow Cathcart & Pollok
โ€ข Ross Hutton, Scottish Conservatives candidate for Glasgow Southside
โ€ข Ben Langmead, Scottish Liberal Democrats candidate for Clydebank & Milngavie
โ€ข Mark Ruskell, Scottish Green Party candidate for Mid Scotland & Fife Region (Transport spokesperson)
โ€ข Graham Simpson, Reform UK candidate for Airdrie (Transport spokesperson)
โ€ข Paul Sweeney, Scottish Labour Party candidate for Glasgow Easterhouse & Springburn

The event will be chaired by Shona Craven, writer and commentator, Community Editor and columnist at The National Newspaper.
