  • Open and closed text image.How it works and ZoneCard map
  • The ZoneCard map shows the area covered. For example, Kilmarnock is in Zone K1 and Ayr is in Zone A1. Simply select the zones you need to travel through - the minimum number of zones you can buy is two - and you can enjoy unlimited travel with participating operators.

    View or download the ZoneCard map and leaflet (pdf format, 450kb, opens a new window).

    If you hold a valid ticket for either G1 or G2, you are also able to travel within the shaded city centre area - see cream shaded area of enlarged map of areas G1 and G2 - and on the Subway system. If you hold a valid ticket for either G1 or G2 and wish to travel in an outer Glasgow zone (G3 to G8) a minimum of three zones is required. If you possess three Glasgow zones, you will have the freedom to travel in all Glasgow zones (G1 to G8).
