Transport in Glasgow

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 trams. Commuters travelling into Glasgow from the neighbouring local authorities of North and South Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, and East and West Dunbartonshire have a major influence on travel patterns, with tens of thousands of residents commuting into the city each day.^[1] The most popular mode of transport in the city is the car, used by two-thirds of people for journeys around the city.^[2]

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