The city of '''[[Glasgow]]''', Scotland, has a [[transport]] system encompassing air, rail, road and an underground light metro line. Prior to 1962, the city was also served by [[Glasgow Corporation Tramways|trams]]. Commuters travelling into Glasgow from the neighbouring local authorities of [[North Lanarkshire|North]] and [[South Lanarkshire]], [[Renfrewshire]], [[East Renfrewshire]], and [[East Dunbartonshire|East]] and [[West Dunbartonshire]] have a major influence on travel patterns, with tens of thousands of residents commuting into the city each day.<ref>{{Cite web|title=NRS Scotland Transport|url=https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/files/statistics/occasional-papers/op12-travel.pdf}}</ref> The most popular mode of transport in the city is the car, used by two-thirds of people for journeys around the city.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/census-results/at-a-glance/transport/|title=Scotland's Census: Transport|website=Scotland's Census}}</ref>

Most streets in the centre of Glasgow are organised in a [[Grid plan|grid-iron]] pattern laid out in the early 19th century, with streets running north-to-south and east-to-west.
