I wasn't too surprised when I saw the few bad reviews that have gone up about Lenzie Taxis…read morerecently. I have had to ring other taxi firms a good few times because of lack of cabs on the road, and on Saturday night I was pretty much convinced from now on I would be taking my business elsewhere. We booked a taxi from Central Station back to Lenzie for us getting off a train for 7pm, and at 7.40pm it arrived. After ringing at about 7.15pm we were given a pretty harsh talking down to by the receptionist, who said we would be 'lucky' we were getting a cab as the roads were so bad, he could be really late. Fair enough, the snow had fallen, but when you take a booking almost an hour and a half earlier, this should be detailed then. The driver then arrived sans any sort of apology or explanation for being 40 minutes late, and said that the icy roads in Lenzie had kept him behind and that we should have 'rang another taxi firm'. Funnily enough, it only took us just under 20 minutes to get back to Lenzie. Gritters must have been working extra hard whilst he was picking us up. Not impressed. At all.

I stumbled on this website via a Lenzie forum. I have to say I'm surprised by the negative…read morecomments. I moved to Lenzie from Edinburgh a few years ago and we've used lenzie taxis mostly for going to the airport but also a couple of times to get into Glasgow. I'd say we've used them about 10 times or so and never had any problems, with them being late or the cars being unclean. We've never had a rude driver and to be honest I can't really remember the conversations with the receptionist(s), I'm sure if he/she had been rude I'd remember. I've found them both reliable and good value. I appreciate people have had different experiences but my personal experience has been fine.

The driver that took me to destination was not sure where he was and had to ask me for directions in the end l had to look up google maps on my phone to find our way. The taxi stank badly of stale cigarette smoke & eggs,the fair was £20.00. On the homeward journey l booked the same taxi service again. The driver was polite & chatty but the fair was only £12.00. With going to the same destinations you would have thought the fair would have been the same or similar, something is wrong it there is £8.00 if a difference before tip.

So Uber has arrived in Glasgow. I've used this service in many other cities but really wasn't sure…read moreabout using it in Glasgow as I've never really had an issue getting taxis. We'd finished a boozy brunch yesterday and I decided to book an Uber home. Firstly, you need to watch for surge pricing. This pops up as a notification when you try to search for a taxi but I think they could have another reminder in the process, just so you really know what you'll be paying. It came up with 1.5x surge (meaning you pay 1.5x the normal rate because there's a high demand). I just cancelled and waited a few minutes before checking again, and the surge period had finished. I like the app and find it really easy to use - no worrying about where your taxi is because you can see it on the map, no worrying about paying by card or having cash as it's all done in the app so you just hop out at the end. Our taxi arrived within a few minutes and we were on our way. A trip into the city centre for us with our usual taxi company is £12.50, this ride was just £14, so the prices aren't really too different (our taxi company had a 15 minute + wait). I'm not going to say that I'd use Uber all the time in Glasgow but they're definitely handy to have. Also, in my experience (probably 30+ rides with Uber in various cities) the drivers tend to keep the cars in excellent condition.

I visited Glasgow yesterday for a day trip and as we arrived at the bus station I thought I'd check…read moreif there was any Uber cars around and was pleasantly surprised to find there was about 10 cars in and around the area. Über has only recently arrived to Belfast so any time I've checked there is never any cars available. Our car arrived within minutes - I think this is my favourite thing about Uber - you can tell exactly how much time you have before your car is going to arrive. So you can finish off your drinks and walk outside exactly as your taxi arrives. Our driver was pleasant and chatty. He mentioned that he can review passengers and that passengers can also rate him. (Little did he know that we were Yelp Elites and he was getting reviewed anyway). The fair from the bus station to the west end area of Glasgow cost less that £5 and the receipt was emailed to me within minutes of getting out of the car. It just comes straight out of your bank so there's no worrying about stopping for cash. All in all a great experience with Uber and I'll definitely use them again!

There's a staffed ticket office but there are machines to buy tickets from as well. The station also has bike racks, a small car park, a coffee kiosk, waiting rooms and free WiFi via the Cloud. You can reach Milngavie centre via an underpass just outside the station. Also right outside the station is a small but pretty little square with a couple of benches - possibly a nicer place to sit in sunny weather. It's a well kept station with baskets of flowers and plants around and is apparently a grade B listed building.
