Glasgow Election 2022: Transport pledges include publicly-owned buses, cutting car and a Glasgow Metro

Publicly-owned bus services, supporting a Clyde Metro and reducing the impact of the M8 are among the pledges made by political groups in Glasgow ahead of tomorrow’s election.

How we travel around the city is a key issue for the council to consider, particularly amid a climate emergency, and many politicians are pushing to reduce the number of car journeys.

Get Glasgow Moving, a grassroots public transport campaign group, wants to see buses, the Subway, trains and bikes work together to provide “seamless journeys”. Members have called for buses to be taken into public ownership and are pushing for “properly planned bus routes”, with one simple ticket and an “affordable daily price cap”.
