A petition has been launched to save the 'crucial' night bus services after First Glasgow announced on Monday that they will be scrapped at the end of the month.
The change will impact 11 routes that operate across the city in the early hours of Saturday and Sunday mornings.Since the news broke, Glaswegians, local community groups and Glasgow City Council have expressed their concerns over the decision. It adds: "First Bus says that uptake of Glasgow’s night bus services has been lower than expected and it has no choice but to scrap the services. That’s not acceptable.Transport spokesperson Christy Mearns added: “It’s incredibly disappointing that First have decided to cancel all of their night buses at such short notice, when clearly improvements could be made.
Glasgow City Council are due to meet with First Bus to discuss the decision and will be engaging with partners, including SPT and Transport Scotland to find a solution for the night-time economy.
