It's close to the O2 Academy, and on gig night, this place is heaving. Otherwise, it's a pretty quiet stop, pretty small too. There's a bus stop right outside here with plenty of buses running down here like the 45 if you are heading to a gig and dont want to fork out more money for a tube ticket on top of your bus ticket. Plenty of parking space here too.

The Cincinatti Club is a poker club just a few doors up from the station, and as far as I know the only poker club in Glasgow (bar those in casinos and pubs etc). I honestly have no idea what it's like inside, or what the setup is, but in my mind its permanently like a scene from Goodfellas.

Even if it's raining you can finish your shopping in the mall and get straight onto a bus without getting wet. If you find there's a wait till the bus you want, it's no bother going back to do some more shopping in the meantime (for a woman anyway!!) The drivers all seem very pleasant and the buses are clean and well looked after. The buses don't always run to time very well and there can be a bit of a wait. My only other gripe is that they sometimes come into a different number of stand to what you expect, so, even if you'd been at the front of the queue, by the time you rush over to where the bus has stopped you might find yourself at the end of one!! There is an undercover waiting area with seats and several electronic departure information screens which are very useful. There's a nearby newsagent just inside the mall which sells snacks and drinks. Kilmarnock is a fantastic 'hub' with buses going to other towns and villages in all directions. I particularly like the quick service to Glasgow from here but the one I use most is the one which takes me home, if I have too much shopping to walk back.

This is the worst bus company in Glasgow! They keep the change if you do not have the exact amount…read moreto pay for your ticket. Also, you can only renew your bus pass from Thursday to Sunday; if, for whatever reason, you need to renew on a Monday, they tell you your bus pass has run out, which mean that now they can only renew it on the following Saturday, forcing you to buy single/all day tickets the whole week until Saturday. This is just another disgusting company trick to get even more money from their customers if they do not follow their strict rules. Disgraceful!!

Buses are for two groups of people - the people who know where they're going and the tourists who…read moreknow nothing about the city or how to get from A to B. Since I fall in the second group for Edinburgh, I can say that I was at first a little bit confused and slightly lost. That cleared up very quickly once I was directed to the Lothian office near Waverley Bridge. A friendly and helpful clerk (who must deal with people like me day-in and day-out) was able to explain the day ticket (£3? All day? Yes.) and provide me with a map of the bus routes. Five minutes later, I was waiting at my stop and five minutes after that, I was in the front row of a double-decker on the way to my destination. The bus ticket is surprisingly simple and very clever. I purchased three, as I'm here three days. Each one has a series of scratch offs for the day, month and year. You just scratch off the right date and you're good to go. Nice. The buses I've ridden have been clean and prompt. While the ride may be speedy, the roads are a little bumpy. I think my driver yesterday actually missed one of the drains! They also have an iPhone app (jeez, there's an app for everything!) so you can find the nearest stop and when the bus is due to arrive.

This is a relatively clean railway station that has easy access to it by two separate entrances…read more There are fairly regular trains - depending on the day and time etc etc. The station itself, is not much to write home about. BUT, Shawlands is the Byres Road of the southside. This meaning, there is a large range of shops: from chain stores - such as Superdrug - to lovely little independent outlets ideal for gifts with hand carved furniture, handmade cards and the like. Additionally, there's a good selection of bars, restaurants, bistros and coffee shops. It also helps that from town, train is one of the quickest ways here. Though, there is always a good selection of buses which are available.

This station offers a surprising lack of facilities - just one large double sided platform, a…read morecouple of seats and two screens thrown in. However, it is the handiest for Shawlands which probably represents the best area in the Southside to head out in. Trains take just a few minutes from the City Centre and it's a short walk from the station to Pollokshaws Road where there are plenty of bars and restaurants. The area around the station feels safe enough although there weren't too many people about when I visited and I did have to exit via a fairly secluded pathway.

What can you say about a subway station? It's handy for the bottom end of Byres Road and places…read morelike the Lismore, Ichiban, Sparkle Horse, The Three Judges, Butterfly & Pig West End, and anything else in the vicinity of Partick Cross. Strangely, that's what this station used to be known as before the 1980's renovation of the entire subway system. What is now Partick station used to be called Merkland Street, and to avoid confusion when that station was moved to better serve the main line rail station, Partick Cross was renamed Kelvin Hall, despite the fact that it's at least a brisk 5 minute walk from the aforementioned venue. The location of Kelvin Hall station down a wee lane with access from both Dumbarton Road and Dalcross Street is very handy, although the lane used to be a bit scary in the dark and smelled of wee most of the time, with the odd bottle of Buckie occasionally found gracing the pathway. With the recent refurbishment things have improved dramatically and it finally has some decent lighting, although you are still often confronted by a mound of domestic furniture and other rubbish at the Dalcross Street end, which seems to have become a popular location with the locals for fly-tipping despite the best efforts of the Council to keep it tidy.

It's a pretty inconspicuous stop but is handy for the Partick cross section of Dumbarton Road. Despite the name, it is still a good 10 minute walk to Kelvin Hall from here with many city buses representing a better option for those wishing to visit the sports facility.

The only thing I can say against the place is that they need better signage to direct the tourists…read morefrom Waverley Station. Or if they have a kiosk located in the station, it needs to be better posted. Once you find the place, expect to be extremely pleased. Courteous service from a clerk who probably deals with tourists like me (unlikely they can be even more clueless than me) all day but was patient in explaining the day ticket deal (£3 all day) and how the tickets work (just scratch off today's date and go) and providing me with a map of the bus routes. Five minutes later, I was at the bus stop. And five minutes later than that, I was taking a front row seat in the double-decker that brought me to the hotel. The day pass is probably the best method if you're planning on riding at least three buses in a day, otherwise you can pay on board. Exact change only. Or if you're in Edinburgh for more than a few days, consider one of the weekly/monthly/annual passes. Yes, they accept credit cards. Even the swipe and sign ones we Americans carry. And yes, they spoke English that was clear enough for me, a Yank, to understand. :)

The bus services that they run across…read morethe city are unmatched, and it is one of the best bus providers that I have come across in the UK. They have three city centre travel shops, which provide information about all of the services that they offer, and I visited the one on Waverley Bridge. I went in as I needed to purchase a Ridacard - a card which you can pay for a period of time, whether it is a week, month, or year and get unlimited travel on their buses during this period. Staff were quick and efficient in providing me with the form I needed to fill, taking a photo for the card there and then, and producing the card itself. All in all, the process must have taken around 10 minutes. The shop is well stocked with timetables and all of the information you could possibly need for bus travel in and around Edinburgh. There was also a selection of information for tourists, and during the time I was there, a number of tourists came in asking for directions, which the staff were happy to provide. This travel shop is a great reflection of a superb bus company. Once the trams are up and running, they will be able to add another string to what is already a pretty large bow.
