In terms of our buses, the colour and branding will stay the same, the only difference being customers will start to see West Coast Motors instead of Glasgow Citybus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_x_x_x_x_MsoNormal x_x_x_x_x_ContentPasted0\">For live and future bus times and to plan your journey visit westcoastmotors.co.uk or download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westcoastmotors.co.uk\/\">West Coast Motors<\/a> app.<span class=\"x_x_x_x_x_Apple-converted-space x_x_x_x_x_ContentPasted0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_x_x_x_x_MsoNormal\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In response to more young people choosing to travel by bus, Glasgow Citybus will be increasing its frequency on its service 15 bus route.
