Glasgow Airport Bus 77:

The Glasgow Airport Bus 77 is operated by FirstBus and is cheaper than the Glasgow Airport Express Service 500, costing just £6.30, so it is the best option for budget travellers like me.

It doesn't run 24/7, takes a less direct route, with more stops, taking more than 1 hour.

Bus 77 runs from the Buchanan Bus Station in Glasgow City Centre but as I was staying at the StaySafe Charing Cross Hostel, there is a stop a few minutes walk away on Bath Street.
