The overall rating of a review is different from a simple average of all individual ratings.
Advantages:
Very economical for journeys where you need to change bus . Also good for return journeys .
Disadvantages:
You must have a student card . It's easy to lose your ticket . Hard to work out the bus routes and pickup points if you don't know the city .
From this week (from 16th September 2001) onward, Firstbus Glasgow are offering a student discount. Basically you get to buy an "Firstday Ticket" for the reduced price of £1.65. The standard price has just been increased to £2.20. All you have to do is display your matric. card or student ID card when you board the bus.
The only problem I've had so far is the fact that many of the drivers are unaware of the discount, even though ther are posters up on their own bus! Obviously this is a decent saving if you want a return ticket or have to change buses.
As far as tourists are concerned the buses in Glasgow offer you a really cheap means of travelling all over the city, if you have plenty of time. It can be tricky to work out the bus routes though so if you are only in town for a day you'd be better staying in the town centre and maybe getting the underground to see the West end.

Advantages: since the Overground came into force you can actually get a bus... Disadvantages: FAR too many to list! Too expensive, too crowded etc etc etc
Advantages: Easy to get around, travel centres available if you get stuck Disadvantages: Motorway queues (but what city doesn't?), moaning-faced bus drivers.
