Glasgow residents are being urged to apply for the brand-new ZoneCard smartcard after its price has been halved.
Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) has said customers registering for the new card can receive it for half price up until September 23.
The transport firm said if travellers register before then, a Zonecard smartcard will set them back £2.50.
After that, the price will be increased to £5. Meanwhile, SPT has said ZoneCards tickets can also be loaded onto any existing smartcard including ScotRail, Subway, McGill’s, Stagecoach and National Entitlement Cards.

Ryan Sorley, chair of the ZoneCard Forum, which represents all the operators participating in the ticketing arrangement, said: "Since its launch, the new Smart ZoneCard has proved very popular with customers who rely on more than one mode of transport with more than one operator to journey around the Strathclyde area.
"More than 700 new ZoneCard smartcards have already been purchased at the £2.50 price, with another 700 customers already registering an existing smartcard, for which there is no charge.
"Many of these customers are reporting enjoying the convenience of the new one-day and flexi tickets which meet their needs better than before."
