RESIDENTS of Knightswood and Anniesland are furious their only direct bus into the city centre is to be axed.
They have accused bus operator First of failing to consult them on plans to cut the service, reports our sister paper the Evening Times.
The community council only found out about the change when a concerned resident spotted it on the bus company’s website.
It says from October 23, the 4A service will terminate at Broomhill and will no longer serve Kelvindale, Anniesland and Knightswood.
Instead, a new service M4 will be introduced to replace the section of route between Kelvindale and Anniesland.
A First Glasgow spokesman said: “We can confirm we will be making some changes to the network from October 23 so that we can better match customer’s demand for the bus services we operate.
“This includes alterations to Service 4A.
“As a commercial operator, we cannot afford to run buses where there is insufficient demand, however, despite the low demand, I’m pleased that we have arrived at a solution that maintains regular services from Kelvindale.”
