Using the bus
It's easy...Just pick up the phone
If you live in the Glasgow city area and have trouble getting to hospital to visit a loved one, the Evening Visitor Scheme is for you.
Who can use the Evening Visitor Scheme?
People living in the Glasgow City area can use the scheme. All Glasgow city residents are eligible, but the service gives priority to people who are older, disabled or on low incomes.
Do I need to pay?
No, this service is completely free of charge.
When does it run?
This unique bus service operates on weekdays between 6 and 10pm.
Where does it go?
It covers six Glasgow hospitals: Glasgow Royal Infirmary, the Western Infirmary, the Victoria Infirmary, Stobhill Hospital, the Southern General and Gartnavel General.
How does it work?
You need to book the bus earlier in the day. The bus picks you up at your front door and drops you at the hospital. Once visiting time is over, the service picks you up again and drops you back home.
How do I book the bus?
The Booking Hotline number is: 0845 128 4027.
The service is provided in partnership between NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Passenger Transport. Community Transport Glasgow - an organisation consisting of five community transport operators - have been tasked with providing the service.
