With the cost of fuel rising, many of us are looking for cheaper options to travel - especially when it comes to longer journeys across the UK.
Fortunately for Glaswegians, Flixbus are launching a new service from the city right in time for consumers to travel over the May Day Bank Holiday Weekend - with tickets on the route starting from just 99p.

The new coach route from Glasgow to Manchester includes stop-offs at Preston and Lancaster - increasing the total number of locations on the FlixBus network to over 30.
The affordable and eco-friendly travel operator will run coaches to and from Manchester and Glasgow five times a week, offering an eco-friendly transport alternative for increasingly climate-conscious consumers.
Checking the FlixBus website this morning, 99p fares from Glasgow to Manchester are available on Monday May 2, Tuesday May 3, Friday May 6 - with even more dates the following week and throughout May.
With hundreds of coach services across the country now running weekly, FlixBus expects to see its passenger numbers reach their highest level since the company relaunched in the UK last year, especially as university students finish the academic year.
FlixBus UK Managing Director Andreas Schorling said: “It’s wonderful to be able to offer passengers more destination options than ever before, particularly these new routes between Manchester and Glasgow. We know that the cost of living is soaring, so it is worth remembering that coach travel is the most cost-effective way to get around.”
Tickets can be purchased from www.flixbus.co.uk
