I've created a new thread for my map as it now encompasses a large area and many operators (where previously it was mainly First Greater Glasgow).

The next version of my Greater Glasgow Area Bus Map is now available. It is a semi-diagrammatic map which aims to show weekday daytime routes in as clear a fashion as possible.

You can download or view the file here, or go to this address if the link doesn't work: https://github.com/40414148/Transport-Published/raw/main/Maps/GreaterGlasgowBusNetwork.pdf
Alternatively click here to view the file on GitHub; this will let you see when it was last updated.

These links will always take you to the most recent file version and will never change for as long as the file remains online.

My map differs from other maps, such as the First Greater Glasgow Network Map from which it is based, as my map omits weekend-only routes, omits routes operating less frequently than every hour, and gives every route its own line so you can follow it clearly. Peak-only routes are omitted however some peak-only variations on routes which operate all day are shown.

There will be many errors that I haven't caught, if you see any let me know.
Issues I'm aware of:
- Some elements may look a bit rough due to the conversion from SVG to PDF, if you see any then let me know.
- I'm going to add in the missing route termini and add in the Paisley area when I get the time.
- In some areas the text annotations overlap with other elements, these should all still be readable.
I've put an image preview below, note that this may not be updated when I release new versions of the map.

Good work and very informative. A couple wee things I noticed the JMB bus to Lanark is the 41 not the 56. Stuart's have a 241x to Lanark also. 242 first bus have some journeys to/from Overtown morning and evenings. Also in Wishaw area First do the Sunday only 193.

Thanks for the feedback.

Well spotted, fixed now.
Stuart's have a 241x to Lanark also. 242 first bus have some journeys to/from Overtown morning and evenings. Also in Wishaw area First do the Sunday only 193.
The 241X appears to only run early mornings and on Saturdays, so I won't be including it in the map (as the map only shows weekday daytime routes).
Same with the 242... although having looked at it I feel like it would be unfair to include the Eurocentral part but not the Overtown part, so I might include the latter anyway.
The 193 only runs on Sundays so I won't be including it in the map.
