'Will this project be within our budget or are we going to face the same problems as Edinburgh’s tram system?'

Questions over the affordability of Glasgow’s proposed metro system and how it would connect to wider parts of the city have been raised by a Labour councillor.

The metro system, which represents a multi-billion investment over a 30-year period, could better connect more than 1.5 million people to employment, education, and health services in and around Glasgow. “Will this project be within our budget or are we going to face the same problems as Edinburgh’s [tram system]. If anyone could highlight how we are going to proceed with this that would be great.”

Metro systems which include one of or a combination of buses, trams, light rail and metro rail would complement the traditional rail services. The Clyde Metro would help tackle social exclusion, encourage public transport use, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality and free rail capacity for longer-distance journeys
