Question
To ask the Scottish Government, in relation to the proposed Clyde Metro transport system, whether there could be scope for including areas in the Glasgow City region more than 15 kilometres from the city centre, in particular if that location has poor public transport links.
Answer
The 15km value noted in the Strategic Transport Projects Review is representative of the average maximum range from the benchmarking study of similar cities and aligns well with the adjoining urban area of Greater Glasgow. However it is indicative, the exact extents of any Metro system will be for consideration as part of the future business case and design development work to determine.
