	Strathclyde Passenger Transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strathclyde Passenger Transport (SPT) is a public body which is responsible for planning and co-ordinating public transport in the Strathclyde area of western Scotland, including operating Glasgow's Subway, the third oldest in the world after the London and Budapest underground railways.
		SPT was originally known as the Strathclyde Passenger Transport Executive (SPTE), up until 1986 it (and the Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive before it) was directly responsible for running the municipal bus services in Glasgow, and owned both the buses and the necessary supporting infrastructure.
		In April 2006 under new legislation passed by the Scottish Parliament, Strathclyde Passenger Transport was abolished and a new transport authority, the West of Scotland Transport Partnership, was established along with another six regional transport partnerships covering the rest of Scotland.

	Passenger Transport Executive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United Kingdom, Passenger Transport Executives (PTEs) are local government bodies which are responsible for public transport within large urban areas.
		In the six metropolitan counties, councillors are appointed to the PTAs by the metropolitan boroughs, or in the case of Strathclyde by the twelve unitary authority councils in the area.
		The Passenger Transport Authorities are not "precepting authorities", so they have to negotiate a "levy" every year that is applied to council tax collected by the local authorities in the areas that they serve.

		This variety of transport offers challenging opportunities for the integrated service to which the transport authority is committed.
		SPT is engaged in a series of projects that should promote this perception.
		Some 850,000 passengers should use the link in the first year of operation and — given the experience at Heathrow and Stansted, where rail links are used by 20 to 30 per cent of all passengers — we could be carrying four to four and a half million people by 2030.
