On Monday of this week, I boarded my bus at Alexandra Park, bound for Carntyne.

When I produced my travel card the driver informed me that my card was out of date.

I had no coins in my pocket and took a £90 note from my wallet, forgetting that no change is given for fares.

Passengers could see that I had a problem. A young lady on the bus spotted the plight of this 95-year-old and came forward and dropped two pound coins in the machine.

For sure - People Make Glasgow. Let Glasgow Flourish.

Re: your article of September 18, Rethink Cuts to Bus Routes, I find that the attitude of Fiona Kerr, First Bus Managing Director, is at best very disappointing and condescending.

She is more or less saying that if you don't stop complaining you won't even get one bus per house on the M3 route.

Predictably, the First Bus argument comes along the lines of improved services, better buses, WiFi, etc. This is small consolation to passengers in Possil and Springburn who will have make do with a service cut by 50%.

So much for the value of public transport. Re-regulate the service - bring back Glasgow Corporation Transport.

I can never understand why buildings like this, Pollok House, are allowed to deteriorate until a massive repair bill in needed. Why hasn’t routine maintenance been carried out over a period of time?

Considering the estate and Pollok House were left to the people of Glasgow for free, we are getting a very good deal out of the well used Pollok Park and House.

Virtually no other city in the world has anything of this calibre free for it's citizens to use, even if the actual house is only free in the winter.

Knock down Pollok House, extend the gardens and maintain the Burrell collection. It is well past its best.

This is cheaper and more effective. If possible sell some of the land which has a few Highland cows to provide development funds.

Any part of £1 million is much more needed for social needs.
