Scottish ministers have approved £40m towards a new high-frequency bus link along the north and south banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow.The Clyde Fastlink route will run from Buchanan Street Bus Station to the new Southern General Hospital via Central and Queen Street Stations.It will travel along the River Clyde, past the SECC, in dedicated lanes which will be mostly segregated from traffic.Plans also exist to extend the \"tram on wheels\" project as far as Clydebank.The Fastlink project is being led by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) and Glasgow City Council.Deputy first minister Nicola Sturgeon said it would improve Glasgow\'s transport infrastructure in time for the 2014 Commonwealth games.\"Fastlink will make a real difference to the quality of public transport links in the area as well as provide real economic development opportunities for the many communities along the route.\"It will also provide much better access to the healthcare services at the new South Glasgow Hospital Campus site, and provide another vital transport option for the Commonwealth Games.\"Having received the final business case from SPT and subject to continued reassurance on SPT\'s work as it develops during the detailed planning and design of the project, our contribution gives the green light to this important public transport initiative.\"
