Glasgow’s transport network is “going backwards” with residents offered little incentive to leave their cars at home, an MSP has claimed.

Monica Lennon hit out after it was confirmed that Strathclyde Passenger Transport (SPT) will axe the once-popular Daytripper scheme which allowed two adults and up to four children unlimited travel for one day on most trains, buses and the Subway.

The MSP has questioned why the concession is being allowed to end at a time when thousands of delegates will arrive in Glasgow to discuss how to save the planet from climate change.
