Although Glasgow has relatively good public and bespoke transport services available, community transport still has a major role to play covering a very wide range of needs from access to hospital from disadvantaged areas to ensuring that young people can participate in team sports at an affordable cost. To meet such needs, community transport provision has grown significantly in the Glasgow area in recent years and has achieved successes in capacity building within communities and meeting transport needs that are not covered by other provision.
