FIRST BUS plans to scrap night buses in Glasgow by the end of the month were branded “inexplicable” and “completely unjust” today.

The decision will leave Scotland’s largest city with virtually no pubic transport after midnight  despite the operator, like all others north of the border, being heavily reliant on public money from direct route support  or “free fare” schemes.

Poverty Alliance director Peter Kelly said: “This announcement is completely unjust and will hit Glaswegians on low incomes the hardest — people who work night shifts and early shifts in the kind of jobs that are already undervalued.
