Centre for Cities claims that the economy is being held back in part because hundreds of thousands of workers struggle to commute between the city…
Glasgow’s economic potential is being crippled by poor public transport links, a new report suggests.
“For people living in and around Glasgow, this means longer commute times with many residents struggling to access the city centre and all of the jobs and opportunities on offer there.” She added: “ would enable SPT to deliver a fully-integrated service that’s reliable, affordable and accessible to all.
It could also open up long-term opportunities to integrate urban transport services run by ScotRail and Glasgow Subway into a single transport system with its own ticketing system and cross-subsidies for services in poorly-connected areas. “But this is a price worth paying – Glasgow’s ongoing underperformance means the Scottish economy is billions of pounds smaller each year than it should otherwise be, and it limits the prosperity available to the millions of people who live in and around Scotland’s largest city.”
