CALLS are again being made for transport bosses to extend the Sunday hours of the Glasgow Subway.
A petition was launched on June 21 by Kier Davison who feels the early closures are “out of date” and “unnecessary”.The subway is operated by the Scottish Partnership for Transport and is currently open until 11.40pm every day except Sunday when it closes just after 6pm.
“I think the subway is one of the most reliable and safest ways of getting around the city. It’s far safer to be waiting on a subway platform that people have to pay money to get to than be waiting at a bus stop on your own late at night, particularly in winter. The Kelvinbridge resident says he relies on the subway almost every day including travelling to and from work.
“Someone also pointed out to me that for those who don’t have a bus pass, it can actually sometimes be more expensive to take the bus than the subway. “However, this significant investment should not be the end of improvements on the subway. For far too long the archaic 6pm closure of the subway on a Sunday night has hampered our night-time economy and affected those who rely on it for work.”
