but the first was launched on 4 December 2007 at Glasgow Airport. Between the new buses arriving and service starting, a fleet of Plaxton Centros was used, alongside conventional Arriva buses with branding for the service. The Centros are now on standard Arriva routes. An Optare MetroRider had been painted into the Glasgow Flyer livery for staff transport duties. Service features The service operated at 24-hour service, 7 days a week and all year, with prices lower than the equivalent taxi fare. The service ran every 10 minutes at daytime. Each vehicle had WiFi equipment fitted, offered to passengers free of charge, enabling them to access the internet as they traveled. The vehicles had leather seats, and each had a 3-tier luggage rack. Each bus also had a journey information system, which announced the bus stop the vehicle was due to arrive at shortly before it arrived. It also notified of train and subway stations, hotels and shopping streets. Routes 500 The bus followed a different route in each direction in Glasgow City Centre, due to the one-way traffic system there. The service took approximately 20 minutes in either direction.
