The city of '''[[Glasgow]]''', Scotland, has a [[transport]] system encompassing air, rail, road and an underground light metro line. Prior to 1962, the city was also served by [[Glasgow Corporation Tramways|trams]]. Commuters travelling into Glasgow from the neighbouring local authorities of [[North Lanarkshire|North]] and [[South Lanarkshire]], [[Renfrewshire]], [[East Renfrewshire]], and [[East Dunbartonshire|East]] and [[West Dunbartonshire]] have a major influence on travel patterns, with tens of thousands of residents commuting into the city each day.<ref>{{Cite web|title=NRS Scotland Transport|url=https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/files/statistics/occasional-papers/op12-travel.pdf}}</ref> The most popular mode of transport in the city is the car, used by two-thirds of people for journeys around the city.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/census-results/at-a-glance/transport/|title=Scotland's Census: Transport|website=Scotland's Census}}</ref>

Most streets in the centre of Glasgow are organised in a [[Grid plan|grid-iron]] pattern laid out in the early 19th century, with streets running north-to-south and east-to-west.

== Transport authorities ==
Glasgow's transport network is administered by a number of authorities. [[Transport Scotland]] is responsible for the construction, expansion and maintenance of [[trunk road]]s and motorways within the city (such as the [[M8 motorway (Scotland)|M8]], [[M73 motorway|M73]], [[A74(M) and M74 motorways|M74]] and [[M77 motorway|M77]] motorways), with the city government, [[Glasgow City Council]] responsible for all other roads.[[Strathclyde Partnership for Transport]] (SPT) is responsible for strategic transport planning for the region, including coordinating services amongst the various private bus operators, and also operates the [[Glasgow Subway]]. The local rail network is operated by [[ScotRail]].

==Airports==
[[File:Glasgow Airport - geograph.org.uk - 5383881.jpg | thumb | right | alt=Glasgow International Airport | Glasgow International Airport ]]
Glasgow has two international airports and is also served by a seaplane terminal.

[[Glasgow Airport|Glasgow International Airport]] (GLA) is the closest airport to the city and handles the majority of Glasgow's air traffic across its two terminals. This includes shuttle flights to and from London and the rest of the UK, continental flights to various cities in Europe and long-haul transatlantic links to cities in the Americas as well as links to the Middle East .

The airport was opened in 1966 and typically handles over 10 million passengers a year, making it the second-busiest airport in Scotland and the [[List of busiest airports in the United Kingdom|ninth-busiest airport in the United Kingdom]].

The airport sits to the west of the city in the town of [[Paisley, Renfrewshire|Paisley]] and is connected to the city via the M8 motorway.

[[Glasgow Prestwick Airport]] (PIK) is located 29 miles south west of the city in [[South Ayrshire]] and focuses on short-haul leisure flights to Europe, low-cost airlines and freight traffic. Prestwick is Scotland's fifth-busiest airport in terms of passenger numbers, but its largest in terms of land area.

Glasgow also has a [[Glasgow Seaplane Terminal|Seaplane Terminal]] located in the city centre on the [[River Clyde]]. This offers services to the Scottish islands and the far north.

There are also two small airfields in the nearby towns of [[Cumbernauld]] in [[North Lanarkshire]] and [[Strathaven]] in [[South Lanarkshire]].

==Motorway network==
Glasgow is a focal point of Scotland's motorway network. The network is heavily used at peak times and is one of the most comprehensive in the United Kingdom, connecting the city centre with the rest of the sprawling [[Greater Glasgow]] area.

===M8===
[[File:Wfm m8 motorway.jpg|thumb|right|The [[M8 motorway (Scotland)|M8]], Scotland's busiest motorway, passing under [[Charing Cross, Glasgow|Charing Cross]] in central Glasgow.]]
[[M8 motorway (Scotland)|The M8]] is Scotland's busiest motorway, running from the capital city of [[Edinburgh]], approximately {{convert|40|miles}} to the east of Glasgow, through the centre of Glasgow and on to [[Bishopton, Renfrewshire|Bishopton]] in western [[Renfrewshire]], {{convert|13|miles}} further west. The motorway was built in sections starting in 1964 and was finally completed in 2017. The city centre stretch of the M8 was originally planned to form part of a wider [[Glasgow Inner Ring Road]], a proposed ring road encircling the city. The inner ring road plans were later abandoned, however a similar motorway ring around the eastern part of the city was later completed in 2017 as part of the M74 extension.

The motorway begins at Junction 1 in the west of Edinburgh and travels westwards through [[West Lothian]] and [[North Lanarkshire]] to the north-eastern outskirts of Glasgow at [[Easterhouse]], meeting the M73 at [[Baillieston]] Interchange. Previously the section of road between Junctions 6 and 8 in North Lanarkshire was incomplete and not built to motorway standard; the road instead used a small section of the A8; however in 2017 the 'gap' was finally closed with a new six lane motorway built to connect both sides of the M8.

From here the M8 runs through the east of the city, where its character is unusual compared to other motorways in the UK, featuring illuminated overhead gantries, high mast lighting and exits and entrances to the motorway on the right and left hand sides. It connects indirectly to the M80 at [[Riddrie]] and to the A803 at [[Townhead, Glasgow|Townhead]] junction before skirting around the city centre on an elevated viaduct, meeting the A82 before dipping down through [[Charing Cross, Glasgow|Charing Cross]] and then rising again to go over the A814 ([[Argyle Street, Glasgow|Argyle Street]] / Clydeside Expressway) before crossing the River Clyde on the [[Kingston Bridge, Glasgow|Kingston Bridge]]. The bridge is 10 lanes wide and is the busiest road crossing in Europe, with traffic volumes of up to 150,000 vehicles per day.{{Citation needed|date=October 2023}}

After the bridge, the M8 merges with the M74 and M77 at [[Plantation, Glasgow|Plantation]], becoming one of the widest stretches of road in the UK, with 16 lanes providing connections between the three motorways. The M8 continues west past [[Ibrox, Glasgow|Ibrox]] and the A739 for the [[Clyde Tunnel]], then out of the city to [[Braehead]], [[Renfrew]], [[Glasgow International Airport]], and [[Erskine, Renfrewshire|Erskine]] before continuing on to [[Greenock]] on the [[Firth of Clyde]] as the non-motorway A8.

===M73===
[[File:M73, Junction 2a - geograph.org.uk - 128724.jpg | thumb | right | alt=M73 Junction 2a | M73 Junction 2a]]
[[M73 motorway|The M73]] is a north-south link between the M74 and the M8 in the east of the city, allowing traffic to move between the two motorways which run east to west at that point. Construction began in 1969, with the M73 opening in 1972. In 2011, the M73 was extended north to link up with the M80 (as well as the A80), forming a motorway triangle to the north of the city. It is still a fairly short road, around {{convert|6.5|miles}} long. In 2015, as part of the 'M8 M73 M74 Motorway Improvement Project', additional lanes were added to the southern part of the M73, making the southern part of the route four to five lanes wide in both directions.

===M74===
[[File:M74 (geograph 2638091).jpg|thumb|The [[A74(M) and M74 motorways|M74]] (2011 phase) looking north from Cathcart Road overbridge(A728) towards the point where it merges into the M8]]
[[A74(M) and M74 motorways|The M74]] runs from the city centre through the south east of the city, acting as a major route in and out of the city for the Lanarkshire suburbs; at [[Uddingston]] it connects to the [[M73 motorway|M73]] and expands to five lanes in each direction. It then turns to the south and continues to England. The M74 is Scotland's only motorway link to the rest of Great Britain and as such is one of the key cross-border routes between Scotland and England. Although the entire road is commonly referred to as the M74, it later becomes the [[A74(M) and M74 motorways|A74(M)]] and then the [[M6 motorway|M6]] upon entering England.

Construction of the M74 began in 1964, and by 1999 the motorway stretched to [[Gretna, Dumfries and Galloway]]. The M74's northern extension from [[Kingston, Glasgow|Kingston]] to [[Tollcross, Glasgow|Tollcross]] via [[Rutherglen]] was completed in 2011, finalising the original plan of a southern motorway across the city.

===Other===
[[M77 motorway|The M77]] begins in Glasgow at the M8 / M74 [[Plantation, Glasgow|Plantation]] connection and runs south-west to [[Kilmarnock]] via [[Bellahouston]], [[Pollok Country Park]], the [[Silverburn Shopping Centre]] and [[Newton Mearns]].
[[File:The M80 motorway from the air (geograph 5716335).jpg|thumb|left|Aerial view of the [[M80 motorway]] looking east at [[Provanmill]] as it passes under the [[Cumbernauld Line]] railway tracks and the B765 Robroyston Road (2018)]]
[[M80 motorway|The M80]] runs between north-eastern Glasgow and the [[M9 motorway (Scotland)|M9 motorway]] just south of [[Stirling]], via [[Robroyston]], [[Cumbernauld]] and [[Denny, Falkirk|Denny]]. The M80 diverges from the M8 motorway at [[Blochairn]] and eventually links up with the M73 outside the city at [[Mollinsburn]]. The road was constructed in three sections, the first opening in 1974, followed by further sections in 1992 and 2011.

[[M898 motorway|The M898]] (located entirely in Renfrewshire outwith the city itself), connects the M8 to the [[Erskine Bridge]], so is an important link avoiding the city centre for motorists from the likes of [[Dumbarton]] and [[Clydebank]] north of the Clyde. It is the highest numbered motorway in the UK and also the shortest, being less than a mile long (the Erskine Bridge itself is not classified as a motorway).

===Bruce Report===
{{main|Glasgow Inner Ring Road}}
[[File:Unfinished Glasgow ring road - geograph.org.uk - 2922100.jpg | thumb | right | alt=Unfinished Glasgow ring road | Unfinished Glasgow ring road]]
The construction of Glasgow's motorway network was originally proposed as part of the ''Bruce Report'', which set out an ambition for a modern, efficient transport network for the city. This included miles of new motorway, bridges, tunnels and railway and resulted in the creation of the M8, M74 and M77 roads as well as the Clyde Tunnel and Clydeside Expressway. The implementation of the Bruce Report was at the time controversial as it required the destruction of several communities and historic buildings in the path of the routes; however in recent times it has been recognised{{by whom|date=November 2022}} as contributing to Glasgow's relatively low level of inner-city congestion and low journey times for people travelling across the city.

Not all projects from the ''Bruce Report'' were fully implemented, notably the final part of the city's inner ring road which was meant to complete a motorway box around the city centre. This is unlikely ever to be completed as in 2008, the Scottish Government began construction of the M74 northern extension following a similar route to the south west portion of the inner ring road. The extension connected the M74 to the M8, forming a motorway box around the eastern part of Glasgow similar to, but slightly larger than that originally envisioned in the ''Bruce Report''. The extension opened to traffic in 2011 and succeeded in its goals of reducing traffic on the congested M8 and improving safety and journey times around the city.

Following the completion of the M74 northern extension, the city has now started construction on the [[Glasgow East End Regeneration Route]] which will connect the M74 northern extension with the [[M8 motorway (Scotland)|M8 motorway]] at the M80 interchange forming a second, smaller box closer to the city centre. Phases 1 and 2 of the project are complete, with phase 3 currently under construction.

== Other roads ==
In addition to the motorways, there are trunk roads - key strategic routes maintained by central government.

==Cycling==
[[File:Nextbike Glasgow cycle hire point, City of Glasgow College (Riverside Campus) - geograph.org.uk - 4954524.jpg | thumb | right | alt=Nextbike cycle hire point with People Make Glasgow branding | Nextbike cycle hire point ]]
In July 2014, Glasgow City Council began a cycle hire scheme with 400 bikes at 31 locations around Glasgow.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scotsman.com/news/transport/glasgow-launches-400-bike-cycle-hire-scheme-1533174|title=Glasgow launches 400-bike cycle hire scheme}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=UK |first1=nextbike |title=nextbike Glasgow – origin bike sharing service |url=https://www.nextbike.co.uk/en/glasgow/ |website=www.nextbike.co.uk |language=en}}</ref> The scheme proved a success within two years, and the scheme's operator NextBike won a contract to expand the scheme to 900 bikes at 100 locations.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.transportxtra.com/publications/local-transport-today/news/52647/nextbike-wins-glasgow-bike-hire-contract/ | title=Nextbike wins Glasgow bike hire contract | date=17 February 2017 }}</ref>

[[Sustrans]]' [[National Cycle Network]] maps three routes through Glasgow: the 7, 75 and 756. Route 74, which follows the old A74 for much of its length, terminates at the suburb of Rutherglen, while route 754 follows the towpath of the [[Forth and Clyde Canal]] north of the city.

==Buses==
[[File:Buchanan bus station, Glasgow - geograph.org.uk - 6322918.jpg | thumb | right | alt=Buchanan bus Station from the outside | Buchanan bus Station]]
[[Bus deregulation in the United Kingdom|Deregulation of bus services]] began in October 1986, since that time bus operators have been able to start new services, change services, or cancel existing services by giving 42 days notice to the relevant authorities; in Scotland this has since changed to 56 days notice with an additional 14-day consultation period over and above this. Operation of non commercial services that SPT deem to be socially necessary may be awarded by competitive tender.

Glasgow City Council has invested in '[[Bus lane|bus corridors]]' focusing on main bus routes with real time information, and [[bus priority]] measures. The Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive (GGPTE), formerly the municipal transport operator, is now privately owned by [[First Glasgow]].

The largest bus operators in the City are:
* [[First Glasgow]] – the successors to the former Glasgow Corporation Transport Department, and the former [[Central Scottish|Central]] and [[Kelvin Scottish|Kelvin]] subsidiaries of the [[Scottish Bus Group]].
* [[McGill's Bus Services]] – the successors to the former [[Arriva Scotland West]]. McGill's took over on 26 March 2012.
* [[Stagecoach Glasgow]] – the successors to the former [[Western Scottish|Western]] subsidiary of the Scottish Bus Group, with their Stagecoach Glasgow company competing on certain city routes.
* [[West Coast Motors]] – isndependent company providing services in the North West Glasgow area.

[[Buchanan bus station]] is owned and run by SPT, and is a terminus for both local and long-distance services.

==Rail==
[[File:Greater Glasgow rail passengers 2018-19.png|thumb|left|upright=1.3|Rail passengers in and around the Glasgow area, 2018–19]]
Glasgow has one of the densest [[Passenger rail terminology|heavy-rail]] networks in the United Kingdom outside London, with 186 stations across the Greater Glasgow area. The suburban railway is run by [[ScotRail]],<ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-60842268 | newspaper = [[BBC News]] | date = 1 April 2022 | access-date = 1 April 2022 | title = ScotRail goes back into public ownership}}</ref> and is centred around the two main terminus stations, [[Glasgow Central railway station|Glasgow Central]] and [[Glasgow Queen Street railway station|Glasgow Queen Street]] stations.

Glasgow Central primarily serves routes to the south of the city, such as those in Lanarkshire, Ayrshire and links to the rest of the United Kingdom. Queen Street services tend to run east to west across the city, with additional services serving the north of Scotland.

Plans were devised in the post-war period to redevelop Glasgow as a whole. As part of the resulting ''"[[Bruce Report]]"'', it was proposed that Queen Street Station be demolished and replaced as a bus station and garage. Under this scheme, only the low-level Queen Street Station would be kept, as part of the suburban rail system, and a new purpose-built ''Glasgow North Station'' would be constructed on the site of Buchanan Street station. This plan was never followed through, and Queen Street operates to this day, although Buchanan Street station closed in the 1960s. The chosen site for the Glasgow North Station is now occupied by the [[Buchanan bus station]], the Buchanan Galleries shopping centre, the Royal Concert Hall, and the Glasgow Passport Office. Glasgow and District Transport Plans from 1951 show the layout of the proposed station, available on: [http://www.hipkiss.org/cgi-bin/maps.pl?book=British%20Transport%20Commission%20-%20Passenger%20Transport%20In%20Glasgow%20And%20District Hipkiss' Scanned Old Maps].

Previously, two other terminus stations served Glasgow. [[St Enoch railway station]] was sited on St Enoch Square, a few blocks away from Central Station whilst [[Buchanan Street railway station]] was sited at the north end of the street bearing the same name. Both stations were removed in the 1960s as a result of the [[Beeching cuts]]. The [[St. Enoch Centre]] was built on the site of the old St Enoch Station in the 1980s, and Buchanan House, headquarters of [[Transport Scotland]] and [[Glasgow Caledonian University]] now stand on the site formerly occupied by Buchanan Street station.{{Glasgow railway stations}}

===Future plans===
Locals have long pressed for a link which will join the two halves of the urban railway network together, making possible through journeys via the central area without having to disembark at either Central or Queen Street and traverse the city centre by foot or road. The [[Glasgow Crossrail]] initiative has been on the drawing board for many years but still awaits funding from central government, despite the favourable outcomes of a feasibility study carried out in 2003.

Plans to connect Glasgow to London by a {{convert|270|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} [[Transrapid]] (German [[Maglev train]]) [https://www.theguardian.com/uk_news/story/0,3604,1500038,00.html emerged] in June 2005.  However, this proposal was shelved in favour of the proposed [[High Speed 2]] scheme from London to Birmingham, which may be extended to Glasgow.

There were also plans to connect Glasgow city with Glasgow International Airport, via a [[Glasgow Airport Rail Link|new rail link]] which was estimated to bring around 700 new jobs to the Paisley area. The Act of Parliament authorizing construction of the link was passed by the Scottish Parliament on 29 November 2006 and received Royal Assent on 15 January 2007.  It was expected that the link would be in operation by 2013, but it was canceled by the Scottish Parliament in 2009 as a cost-cutting measure.

==Subway==
[[File:Glasgow Subway Stadler unit at West Street 160624 (53794657872).jpg|thumb|A train arrives at [[West Street subway station|West Street station]]]]
{{Main|Glasgow Subway}}

Glasgow is one of only three [[Great Britain|British]] metropolitan areas that has an underground [[metro system]]; the others being [[London]] and [[Newcastle upon Tyne|Newcastle]]. The [[Glasgow Subway]] (previously ''Glasgow Underground''), was built in 1896 and substantially modernized in 1977. It has a single circular route. This, taken together with the orange-coloured paintwork of the carriages, has led to it being known, by guidebooks more than the locals who still refer to it as the "Subway", as "The Clockwork Orange" after the [[A Clockwork Orange (film)|1971 film]].

Despite being the third oldest subway system in the world (after [[London Underground|London's]] and [[Budapest Metro|Budapest's]]), it has never been expanded beyond its original route. Reasons given for this have invariably related to Glasgow's geology: the tunnels are excavated from rock, and for this reason they are also smaller than London's.  An SPT study into a possible expansion of the subway has been mooted.  It would extend further into the West End, East End and Southside of the city which may cost up to £800million to build. Much of this expansion might utilize disused railway tunnels that have been abandoned since the [[Richard Beeching|Beeching]] cuts of the 1960s.

==Other transport==

[[File:Shields_Road_subway_Pak_and_Ride_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1656061.jpg|thumb|alt=Entrance to subway park and ride|Entrance to subway park and ride at Shields Road station]]

Glasgow has a well developed network of [[Park and ride|park and ride sites]] operated by SPT<ref>{{Cite web|title=Park and Ride in the SPT area|url=http://www.spt.co.uk/park-ride/|access-date=19 July 2020|website=Strathclyde Partnership for Transport}}</ref> or Scotrail. These exist at railway and subway stations across the greater Glasgow area. The Glasgow Subway has three park and ride sites with a total of 1,109 spaces with at least 10,000 further spaces spread out across the local rail network.

==Historical Transport==<!-- This section is linked from [[List of Tramways in Scotland]]. See [[WP:MOS#Section management]] -->

=== Tramways ===
{{See also|Glasgow Corporation Tramways}}
[[File:Trams at Glasgow Garden Festival, 1988 – 4 (geograph 6525007).jpg | thumb | right | alt=Tram at Glasgow Garden festival in 1988 | Tram at Glasgow Garden festival]]
Glasgow had for many years an extensive system of trams that ran on the city's streets alongside other traffic. It was one of the largest in Europe. However, by the 1950s much of the vehicle stock was over 30 years old and in need of replacement. The trams were becoming less used as car use increased, and gradually the tram network was phased out across the city, including many routes that were still fairly well used and reckoned to be economically viable. The last tram in the city ran on 4 September 1962; 250,000 people lined the streets to watch. It was the last city tram network in Britain until 1992.

In the mid 1990s there emerged a plan to create a [[Strathclyde Tram Project]], which would have seen the reintroduction of trams to Glasgow. [[Strathclyde Passenger Transport]] published a set of plans for this system, going so far as to distribute pamphlets across the city outlining these plans and the proposed routes.  The initial line proposed was a 20-kilometre route run from [[Maryhill]] in the Northwest of the city to [[Easterhouse]] on Glasgow's Eastern fringe. It was envisaged that the line would use disused railway lines and tunnels as well as running in part on roads in the city alongside other traffic. The plan then outlined future expansion of the tram network so that it might one day stretch across the Greater Glasgow area.

However, there were objections to these proposals, amongst them from Strathclyde Bus Holdings, who it could be argued did so out of fear of their profit margins being affected by such an initiative. This necessitated a public inquiry, which lasted around 10 weeks. The Parliamentary Commissioners appointed to deliberate on the matter met and discussed the conclusions of this inquiry in a matter of hours before finding in favour of the objections raised thus killing off the Strathclyde Tram Project. The reasoning of the Commissioners is unknown as there existed no obligation for them to reveal it.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lrta.info/Facts/facts111.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720111051/http://lrta.info/Facts/facts111.html|url-status=dead|title=Light Rail Transit Association|archivedate=20 July 2011}}</ref>

There is a proposal to reintroduce trams (again, as in 1996, this would actually be a light rail system) to Glasgow. This came in light of similar proposals, completed in 2014, to reintroduce [[Edinburgh tram network|trams to Edinburgh]]. The [[Glasgow City Council]] and SPT have commissioned a £500,000 study into the viability of such a system, which would initially operate from the city centre to the new [[Glasgow Harbour]] site then across the [[River Clyde]] to the Southern General Hospital and through [[Govan]] and along the south bank of the Clyde before crossing the river again back into the city centre. There are proposals to run trams further than this route out to the Braehead shopping centre and possibly Glasgow Airport; to Clydebank; and across the rest of the city.

Presently SPT has decided that this route will not see trams running along it, but rather an "ultra-modern" bus service termed "[[Clyde Fastlink]]" will operate part of the route, running from the city centre to the Glasgow Harbour area.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.clydeport.co.uk/index.php?site_id=3&page_id=565|title=Glasgow Harbour Website}}</ref>  SPT has stated however that it is leaving open the option of laying tram lines on this route and replacing the buses with a light rail system.

===Trolleybuses===
{{See also|Trolleybuses in Glasgow}}
Glasgow Corporation Transport Department operated a small [[trolleybus]] system between 1949 and 1967, using electricity generated from the same power station as the trams.
