The ferry journey




Ahh, the sea air…. Certainly better than London. There’s always something magical about travelling on a ferry. It make it feel like a real holiday. The ferry was quite expensive though! I was wondering if any people commuted to work in Glasgow from the island but with these prices it would cost a fortune in travelling expenses. Maybe they have a special rate for locals or some people leave a car on the mainland.

Yes, people regularly commute to Glasgow from the Island and unfortunately, there is no particular discount for residents of Bute, other than the option to buy 10 journey tickets which reduces the price coz you're buying in bulk - this option is open to anyone though and not just residents. Those over retirement age (60 or 65?) get free travel but not for their vehicles, where the same options apply as for everyone else. There is some availability to park your car on the mainland and this is certaily advantageous, however possibly limited. I travel to Bute every weekend as having moved from London, you're right - you can't beat the fresh air!
