Clyde Fastlink
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clyde Fastlink is a high frequency bus rapid transit system in Glasgow, Scotland. The system was designed to provide greater connectivity and faster journey times between Glasgow City Centre and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Govan, as well as to several other key developments along the north and south banks of the Clyde Waterfront.[1]
The project's initial conception and construction was led by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) and Glasgow City Council.[2][3] Operation of the system is contracted by the transport authority to Stagecoach West Scotland as an extension to their existing X19 service.[4] McGill's also run their 23 and 26 services along sections of the right-of-way.[5] The 4 mile (6km) long route began construction in September 2013,[6] and was opened to passenger service in 2015 after over £40m of investment.
