OUR exclusive article on Thursday revealing new bus gates at two more Glasgow city centre sites continue to spark debate.
Here is a selection of comments
Bus gates are right move
As well as the planned bus gates in Oswald Street and Union Street, I think the bottom end of Hope Street between Argyle Street and Waterloo Street should also be for bus, taxi and cycles only. The area is used for illegal parking on a daily basis and City Parking staff refuse to move these vehicles.
I have contacted the department on numerous occasions and supplied photographs of cars parked on double yellow lines and its employees still refuse to do anything. There seems tyo be no concern about safety for pedestrians and other motorists.

Shoppers won’t care
It won’t affect too many shoppers because most people have already opted not to shop
in the city centre in favour of places such as Silverburn and Braehead.
The city centre hasn’t been a shopping destination for years.

Station drop-off woe
This is small-time thinking. If people are unable to drop passengers off in Union
Street so they can go into Central Station then more will take cars rather than
travel by trains, which are already over-priced for longer journeys, so increasing pollution even more. So much for
a green policy.

Buses are the problem
What a joke. It’s these huge buses that
are killing people in the city centre with their toxic diesel fumes.
Ban diesel buses and cars from the city centre.

Give cars priority
Car drivers should have priority considering the all the tax they have to pay.
It should be buses that are diverted. leaving car-only roads.
