In showing various aspects of Glasgow’s transport system this documentary also shows the pace and vitality of Glasgow day-to-day life. The complex transport infrastructure, lacking or less developed in other parts of Scotland, is that of a great industrial city. Glasgow was later to pay for this sheer scale and cultural and economic dominance of the rest of small town Scotland. A petty minded anti-Glasgow bias ran through the whole post war planning era.
