Glasgow has one of Europe's most effective public transport systems, according to the 2003 European Cities Monitor published by Cushman & Wakefield Healey & Baker.

The Glasgow catchment is served by an excellent bus, rail, subway and ferry network. The sheer convenience of the service means that more than a third of staff commute to work by public transport. The city's national and international transport links allow Glasgow-based companies to operate internationally as well as UK-wide.
