First Bus has announced the debut of Glagsow’s very-first 24 hour bus service – the 77.
The 77 service is set to run round-the-clock, operating between the city centre, West End and Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. It will offer trips twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Graeme MacFarlan, Commercial Director of First Bus in Scotland, said:We are delighted to launch the first 24-hour bus service in Glasgow on our 77 running between the city and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
It has always been a high frequency route for us, and we are now investing further in our network to build on the success we have seen while ensuring the best possible service for our customers.
The 77, which also offers a dedicated ticket for trips between Partick to the hospital, is hoped to build on success First Bus has thus far seen along the travel corridor, as well as support the nighttime economy, shift working, leisure and hospitality and staff and patients of the QUEH.
Dr Sandesh Gulhane said:NHS staff have been calling for transport that aligns with shift patterns for many years, so the introduction of a 24-hour service on this important route is very welcome.
Reliable, round-the-clock public transport makes a real difference to key workers and while this is a positive step, it's important that future transport planning responds more quickly to the needs of those who keep our city running.
