Enhanced Glasgow Bus Services with Hundreds of Extra Journeys
A notable improvement is on the horizon for Glasgow residents and commuters, as West Coast Motors announces plans to enhance their bus services with hundreds of additional journeys. The company is set to boost frequencies on its services 15 and 17, providing a significant increase in options for travelers within the city.
West Coast Motors has revealed that they will be adding over 250 extra journeys to their routes, with the enhancements set to come into effect starting Monday, September 30. This move is part of the bus operator’s ongoing commitment to delivering reliable, friendly, and frequent travel options for their customers.
Improved Services for Glasgow Commuters
The services that will see a substantial increase in journeys include the popular 15 and 17 routes. Service 15, which runs from Glasgow to Milngavie via Anniesland, will benefit from 154 additional journeys. These enhancements will also include later evening trips, a bolstered Saturday service, and the introduction of a brand-new Sunday service to cater to a wider range of travel needs.
Service 17, which connects Glasgow to Duntocher via Maryhill, will see 98 extra journeys added to its schedule. The timetable for this route will be streamlined to offer more evening options, and buses will now run every 30 minutes instead of hourly, providing a more frequent and convenient service for passengers.
Richy Graham, Operations Manager at West Coast Motors, expressed his excitement about the upcoming changes and the positive impact they are expected to have on customers and the community. He emphasized that the increased frequency of services 15 and 17 will not only offer more travel options but also encourage sustainable travel practices within the city.
Positive Reception from Local Authorities
Local authorities have also welcomed the news of West Coast Motors’ service enhancements. Councillor Duncan Cumming, Independent Councillor for Bearsden North, commended the bus company for their decision to significantly improve services 15 and 17. He highlighted the popularity of these routes among local residents and expressed his optimism about the new possibilities that the timetable enhancements will bring.
In a time when environmental concerns are at the forefront, encouraging the use of public transport to reduce emissions is crucial. Councillor Cumming noted that the enhanced bus services align with these efforts and offer great value for money to commuters, especially in the current economic climate.
The announcement of these improvements comes as a welcome development for Glasgow’s public transport network, providing commuters with more convenient and sustainable travel options. West Coast Motors’ commitment to enhancing customer experience and promoting sustainable travel practices reflects a positive step towards a more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation system within the city.
