Glasgow Subway fares are to increase for the first time since 2019, operator Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) has confirmed.
The price increases, which for most passengers will be around 3%, come into effect from Tuesday, January 2, 2024.
SPT said fares will increase by 5p for an adult Single journey (making it £1.60 using a Smartcard and £1.80 for a single-use ticket) and by 10p for an adult Return or Daily fare.
Adult Subway Season tickets will also increase with an adult seven-day ticket now £13.50 when bought online or £14.50 when bought in stations.

Meanwhile, the price for a 28-day season ticket will increase by £2 to £52 online or £56 in station; the six-month ticket will increase by £5 to £260 online or £275 in station; and the adult annual ticket will increase by £5 to £470 online or £490 in station.
Prices for Child Subway season tickets remain unchanged.
Park and Ride (including return Subway travel) prices will increase from £5.70 currently to £7.70 in the new year.
The price for short-term parking for 30mins will also increase from 60p to £1, while parking for one hour will increase £1.20 to £2; and for two hours from £2.70 to £3.
SPT said the Parking Only 28-day season ticket will no longer be available as it "focuses on Park-and-ride customers in support of our strategic objectives around sustainable travel".
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
