Subsidies for rail services are given to the Strathclyde Passenger Transport Authority by the Scottish Executive, in the form of a Special Rail Grant, and by the 12 local authorities which make up the Strathclyde Passenger Transport Authority, in the form of revenue support. The Strathclyde Passenger Transport Authority has statutory responsibility for bus services in its area and receives financial support for this from its constituent local authorities.
