In addition to launching its new yellow route, the company will introduce 10 new electric buses to its red route this summer. The move to go full electric will make the tour company one of the first in the world to deliver a full electric hop-on-hop-off service.
City Sightseeing Glasgow’s operations manager, Richy Graham, said: “We are delighted to launch our new yellow route and showcase a host of popular attractions and venues as well as some of the lesser known but equally fascinating parts of the city.
He added: “Our hop-on-hop-off tours are a great way to explore the city at your own pace. Whether you want to learn more about Glasgow’s industrial heritage, diverse culture, music scene, sports venues or art collections, there is something for everyone on our tour. We look forward to welcoming visitors on board our new yellow route this summer.”
