A city that built its name on transport
Ships that were built in the famous Clyde shipyards travelled around the world for decades, providing the power for the industrial revolution. It’s no surprise that our city, with this fine tradition, has built a transport network fit for the 21st century. A network that will ensure our Games run smoothly and efficiently.

With three international airports within one hour of the city centre and Glasgow International Airport within 20 minutes of the proposed Games Village, we are an accessible country and an accessible city.

A modern transport network for the games
Whether you are walking, cycling or using public transport, getting around Glasgow will be affordable, convenient and stress free.

Huge sums of money are being invested radically to improve our already impressive transport infrastructure. New motorways, trunk roads and rail lines including one from the city centre to Glasgow International Airport – will allow us to meet our objective of having the vast majority of venues within 20 minutes of our Athletes’ Village.

We also have the largest suburban rail network in the UK outside London, a metro system, expansive bus routes, park and ride facilities and plans for even more river taxis. Our excellent public transport system means there is no need for cars to be at our venues.

We are also taking an extra step to make travelling to and from the Games easy and accessible to everyone. We will make public transport free for anyone who has a ticket for that day’s games.
