First here don't do returns but even for singles the train is considerably more expensive plus an all day ticket is only £4.40 on the mtickets app so it only takes 2 journeys to get value out of it as a single is £2.40 if you go further than 5 stops
They done away with returns last year , £4.50 for day ticket .Glasgow to East Kilbride is cheaper off peak on train with railcard than bus . But bus is nearer andquicker into town.
Its the services like the 267 to Hamilton etc . Paid £5.10 single on that .
I would love to know what trains you travel on. The suburban lines in Glasgow are extremely cheap and always have been.
If anything the buses in Glasgow are the most expensive. A single from Union Street to Govan on McGill's is near enough a fiver...
McGills dont accept the daytripper but accept the zonecards, bonkers , if i use McGills always get an all day .
Certainly for the likes of Cathcart Circle , Partick train i think is cheaper , and especially so with railcard .
£5.30 actually. Seems quite reasonable to me for the distance.
Not many will take 6 all the way like that though , about 2 hours !
Well by bus the 6 from Clydebank to East Kilbride for a single is £2.40 yet if you done that by train it's probably closer to £7/8. Even with a network bus ticket you can go to places like Balloch/Helensburgh/Motherwell/Airdrie and on the train going to these could easily be close to double the price of the bus. A network ticket with First is £5.60 on the mtickets app and £6.10 on the bus
The problem with the bus out to Balloch etc is that takes too long , better off getting the train even if its a bit dearer .
Take the Mount Florida area for example , bus is half hourly , harddly anyone uses it . Most people use the train at every 15 mins .
