Bus boost for Bankies

PEOPLE travelling from Clydebank to Glasgow will benefit from a £1.8m investment in buses.
Glasgow Citybus has unveilved seven of its 15 new Enviro 200 buses, scheduled to operate on service 17 between Duntocher, Bearsden and the city centre and will be put in to service in early February.
Colin Craig, Glasgow Citybus managing director, said: "Too often small independent bus companies rely on the limited options available to commuters to retain their passengers.
"Our approach is that we don't just want to retain customers but also to encourage those who don't use public transport at the moment to ditch their car and travel with us.
"To do this we need to prove to them that bus is a viable alternative and that comes down to cost, quality and frequency.
"With competitively priced fares and a frequent peak-time and regular off-peak service already in place, this investment improves the quality of our vehicles and means that the oldest vehicle in our frontline fleet is only two years old.
"Specifically this means that the buses are the most comfortable, most reliable and provide the best access for the disabled, the elderly and those with young children available on the market today.
"It also ensures that they create less air pollution and are the most environmentally friendly."
