EXCLUSIVE Glasgow City Council has shared their concern over the scrapped night bus service.
has revealed that talks are on the cards after First Bus announced plans to scrap the city's night bus service.
They said:"We are very concerned about the loss of the night bus service and the impact this will have on people who need public transport late at night. “More broadly, we will continue to work with public transport operators to support improvements to bus services in Glasgow. We are also working with partners to explore the medium-to-longer term options for greater public control of the city’s bus network that could allow us to set routes, fares and timetables.”An SPT spokesperson said: “It is disappointing that First has made the decision to cut its night bus services in the city.
Mr MacLeod said: “We thought there would be more dialogue before this and some intervention from Glasgow city council to make sure this vital service is kept, and embellished, and added too.He added:"The city is dying a death of one thousand cuts. Glasgow’s public transport is an absolute disgrace. “With the recent introduction of the Low Emission Zone on many vehicles and fewer taxis in the city since the pandemic, some licensed trade businesses are really worried about the impact the removal of night buses will have when they are still trying to claw back business post-pandemic and amid the cost-of-living crisis.
