M4 Anniesland–Partick
Route M4 is a bus route in Glasgow. It runs between Anniesland and Partick via Kelvindale. It is operated by First Glasgow, who have subcontracted the route to Craigs of Cumbernauld. History The service was introduced in October 2016 and operated half-hourly between Anniesland and Kelvindale. It partly replaced route 4A, which was withdrawn. From 5 December, the frequency was reduced to hourly and the route changed to the current route between Anniesland and Partick. In April 2017, First stated that passenger figures were low and that operating the bus was losing the company around £1,100 per week. From August onward, the route was supported by the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport. Since August 2020, operation of the route has been subcontracted to Craigs of Cumbernauld.

Image Name
An image is a visual representation of something. It can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, or somehow otherwise feed into the visual system to convey information. An image can be an artifact, such as a photograph or other two-dimensional picture, that resembles a subject. In the context of signal processing, an image is a distributed amplitude of color(s). In optics, the term “image” may refer specifically to a 2D image. An image does not have to use the entire visual system to be a visual representation. A popular example of this is of a greyscale image, which uses the visual system's sensitivity to brightness across all wavelengths, without taking into account different colors. A black and white visual representation of something is still an image, even though it does not make full use of the visual system's capabilities. Images are typically still, but in some cases can be moving or animated. Characteristics Images may be two or three-dimensional, such as a pho ...

Bus Route
A bus (contracted from omnibus, with variants multibus, motorbus, autobus, etc.) is a road vehicle that carries significantly more passengers than an average car or van. It is most commonly used in public transport, but is also in use for charter purposes, or through private ownership. Although the average bus carries between 30 and 100 passengers, some buses have a capacity of up to 300 passengers. The most common type is the single-deck rigid bus, with double-decker and articulated buses carrying larger loads, and midibuses and minibuses carrying smaller loads. Coaches are used for longer-distance services. Many types of buses, such as city transit buses and inter-city coaches, charge a fare. Other types, such as elementary or secondary school buses or shuttle buses within a post-secondary education campus, are free. In many jurisdictions, bus drivers require a special large vehicle licence above and beyond a regular driving licence. Buses may be used for scheduled ...
