Transport

Glasgow enjoys an extensive transport mix, easing travel to, from and within the city. A number of motorways serve the region giving high-speed road access to locations across the UK.

The city is served by bus links, a subway system and the UK's second largest suburban commuter rail network making it a top choice for companies relocating or expansion. For international travel, three major airports, serving more than 130 destinations, lie within 45 minutes of the city centre.

A number of capacity boosting projects are also being developed such as:

  • A £445m extension to the M74 motorway, to improve transport links to the entire west of Scotland.  Completion anticipated by late 2011.
  • New £90m East End Regeneration Route to be completed by 2014.
  • New £110m Fastlink project.  The scheme will use a 15 mile exclusive roadway running alongside the River Clyde and operate 25 flexi-trams. Project to complete by 2014.
  • A 10 year £200m in Glasgow International Airport, during which time passenger numbers will triple.  Recent developments include a £10m international pier extension, the first phase of a £31m "skyhub" terminal extension and revamped pick up and drop off zones.
