Subway fares in Glasgow are to be frozen in January.

SPT said that passenger levels are now back to more than 90% of what they were pre covid, bringing in much-needed income.

Stephen Dornan, SPT chair, said: “We have decided to pause the previously agreed increase in Subway fares to help our passengers who are already facing a cost of living crisis and numerous hardships. “Despite not receiving any government Covid support this year and the financial challenges SPT is facing together with the uncertainty while we wait for budgets to be set for next year, we have seen a greater and positive improvement in Subway patronage numbers than expected at this point which is great news.

“It is appropriate therefore that we reconsider the earlier decision regarding a fare increase to reflect where we are now.”SPT said future Subway fare increases will now be considered as part of the 2023/24 revenue budget process which will be effective from April.A range of multi-day, week and monthly tickets are available.
