Find official journey planning, timetable and ticket information for Glasgow. SPT Subway, First Bus and other local operators have different payment rules; choose your service before travelling.
Paying and tapping your card
Glasgow Subway accepts Visa or Mastercard and supported mobile wallets at its gates. Tap in and out using the same card or device; bank-card contactless is for adult fares. First Glasgow has a separate Tap On Tap Off system on eligible services: tap at the driver's reader when boarding and tap off before leaving.
How to buy a ticket
Subway ticket offices and machines sell tickets if contactless is unsuitable. For First Bus, use the app, pay on board or use eligible tap-on/tap-off travel. Other bus operators and ScotRail have their own ticket rules.
Finding the right fare
Subway contactless has daily and weekly capping. First Bus fares and caps are separate: using the same bank card does not create a single Glasgow-wide cap. Check the last Subway service, especially on Sundays.
