Concessions are the reason adult single fares are so high due to the reimbursement percentage which seems to go down every year.Yeah , dont get why the 267 , 255 have them high fares to Glasgow ? While East Kilbride does not .

the Scottish government need to look at how many passes are actually out there as they seem to hand them out to anyone. Far too many junkies get them along with people who actually work. See plenty of construction workers getting on using them
So you think it's fine for junkies to have free passes then?
“JUNKIES”
No I certainly don’t but I think people need to chill a bit.
Here here. I see it all the time, methadone mick and his pal sprinting for the bus only to put the card on the machine and say their destination + a companion. While folk are out there struggling to scrimp bus fare together to get to their minimum wage job. Systems needs overhauledWhy do people need to "chill"? I don't know about you but It it annoys me knowing that I'm out working my ass off just to live while some jobless junkie is getting free travel because they've filled themselves with poison. It's wrong, plain and simple.
Maybe with so many trains and the fares as they are, it’s difficult to compete on for most passengers but you want the concessionary revenue?
I understand all the pro-first boys hate me for it, by why have I just seen a 200 Classic on a 1B? Packed too the gunnels it was.
Now these are the very big downsides to the group, why do they even think that's normal?

highly doubt it unless they become faulty and new white destination is fitted.Looking through a few photos of the E300s which went from Scotland to Ipswich for Park & Ride services. I noticed they have replaced the orange LED destination screen’s with the new white LED screens. I wonder if there are any plans to do this with First Glasgow’s stock.
Back in the day the old green flip dot screen displays were replaced on most vehicles especially the new ones. For example the B10BLEs and B7Ls were originally delivered with the green flip dot screens.
A White hanover refit would be the logical, crisp choice for a full refurb.Looking through a few photos of the E300s which went from Scotland to Ipswich for Park & Ride services.

Out around glasgow today on a Handful of B9’s and B7’s, the B9 is still a favourite(no matter the operator), with the B7’s a close 2nd.
Im still so surprized at the way a 15 year old 2004 B7TL rides and floats over the road but the “Hoover” effect has always irritated!
Emergency allocation happened in the good old days too

I always recall a back shift on an 88 years ago, I had a window broken at springburn shopping centre, when I got to the bus station I got a bendy before they all left, was well chuffed!I'd agree, but i think at an financial sense there's little point unless the current screens become defective.
It's expensive to fix, hence why you often get some of them going around with the fans on full blast for a while, while you could get electric fans fitted i think in the case of the 2004 B7TLs it's a bit late now. Perhaps something that should have been done 5 years ago.
Doesn't quite beat Stagecoach here putting a Astromega on the Service 119 in place of a Solo. The 119 for those who don't know goes in to some really narrow residential areas. Back when Grampian operated the service as the 21 it used to be company policy that nothing bigger than a 709D was used on the route.
That first photo did make me laugh! Midi’s are one thing...but a Solo lol
But for any group this just isnt right!
