Frequently asked questions
What are the operating times of the Kingston St bus lane?
The Kingston St Bus Lane in Glasgow operates 24 hours a day, every day. There is no time of day when general traffic may use it.
How much is the fine for driving through the Kingston St bus lane?
Glasgow City Council issues a Penalty Charge Notice of £100, reduced to £50 if paid within 14 days. There are no penalty points — it is a civil penalty.
Who is allowed to use the Kingston St bus lane?
Buses, taxis and pedal cycles are permitted. Not permitted: cars, vans, motorcycles and private hire vehicles.
Can I appeal a PCN from the Kingston St bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Challenge the charge with Glasgow City Council within 28 days of the date on the notice. If Glasgow City Council rejects them it must issue a Notice of Rejection, and you can then appeal free within 28 days of that rejection to the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (General Regulatory Chamber). Its adjudicators are lawyers independent of the enforcing authority, and their decision is binding on both sides. This bus lane operates 24 hours, so "I was outside the operating times" is not open to you — the grounds that win here are that your vehicle was exempt, that the details on the PCN are wrong, or that the signage did not make the restriction clear. It is worth doing: Glasgow City Council accepted 20% of the 16,540 formal challenges it received in 2025/26 (figures from its own FOI response). Note that paying the £50 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
