Transport
Glasgow has an excellent transport system that makes exploring the city easy and affordable. If you arrive by air into Glasgow International the best tip is to use the Glasgow Shuttle airport to city bus link which operates up to every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day.
Once in the city there are lots of ways to get about but if you are in town for more than one day then one of the best ways to see more of the city for less and sample the top attractions is to buy a ticket on the red, open top City Sightseeing bus tour. Your ticket is valid for two days and you can hop on/hop off as often as you like. Or jump onto The Subway, Glasgow’s unique underground rail network. These fast little trains will carry you around under the city and makes exploring the West End, South Side and other neighbourhoods really easy. Enquire at SPT Travel centres, they will direct you to the best value deals available.

If you plan a day trip out of the city it’s likely that there is a direct fast train or bus service to your destination. Edinburgh, Stirling and the Loch Lomond area are no more than 50 minutes away and easily visited in one day. For trips further out you can get great car rental rates from Arnold Clark, a local and reliable rental company.

Separated, sanitised and safe: Glasgow Taxis’ campaign to provide cleanest transport in Scotland
Taxi users in Glasgow can enjoy the ‘safest public transport experience in Scotland’ thanks to a new partnership between Glasgow Taxis and industry-leading vehicle care specialists Supagard.
Glasgow Taxis Ltd, the biggest taxi firm in Scotland, has launched a new campaign for safe travel which will see all drivers equipped with exclusive Glasgow Taxis branded cleaning kits.
Supagard, also Glasgow-based, have for 30 years supplied car cleaning and protection products to 17 major car manufacturers across the UK. The new local partnership is exclusive to Glasgow Taxis and in direct response to the Covid-19 crisis.

As part of the campaign, Glasgow Taxis has purchased a Supagard “ozone generator” vehicle cleaning unit which completely sanitises the interior of a vehicle in just 15 minutes and will be available for free use to all GTL taxis. In addition, Supagard have created and certified a new “protection pack”, a range of taxi specific cleaning products with increased strength, to help provide a safe, clean and fragrant environment for all customers.
Dougie McPherson, Glasgow Taxis chairman, said: “Our new safe taxi campaign and partnership with Supagard will support our drivers and send a clear message to customers – we are your safest and cleanest taxi transport option. Add to this the fact that all our vehicles are fully partitioned and we believe we can now offer the safest public transport experience in Scotland.
“Glasgow Taxis is proud to partner with Supagard, a local firm with an outstanding track record. We know people and businesses will be looking for reassurance and a new level of service in the months ahead and believe this partnership will enable Glasgow Taxis to deliver on that expectation.”
