Strathclyde Buses was a bus operator running services in Glasgow and west-central Scotland. The company commenced operations in October 1986 as an 'arms-length' successor to the Strathclyde Regional Council-owned Strathclyde Passenger Transport Executive (Strathclyde PTE). In 1996, Strathclyde Buses was taken over by FirstBus, and the company trades today as First Glasgow.
