A petition has been launched to save a number of bus services in Glasgow's Pollok area, which have been described as a 'lifeline' for residents.
It comes as First Bus Glasgow threatened to axe several services in the south side of the city due to anti-social behaviour.
The warning comes after three teenagers were charged in connection with an alleged fire deliberately started on a double-decker bus stopped on Corkerhill Road on March 2.

The vehicle was left "extensively damaged" and a number of passengers had to be evacuated when the blaze broke out after the group got off.
We previously reported how staff at McDonald's in Silverburn, close to Pollok Bus Station, have been subjected to racist and physical attacks by gangs of youths.
Locals have said they are often 'too scared' to visit the shopping centre at night due to the number of teenagers hanging around.
Now, residents are doing everything they can to stop the services from being axed.
A petition has been shared on the Crookston and Pollok Community Facebook page which reads: "Save Pollok Bus Services (3,10,57 & X8).
"After a spate of anti social behaviour First Bus are threatening to cut the bus service(s) in Pollok. This service is a lifeline for many residents.
"Please sign the petition below to save the service and get your voice heard."
A First Bus spokesperson said: "The safety of our staff and customers is always our number one priority. We are monitoring the situation on services in the Pollok area due to an increase in anti-social behaviour in recent weeks.
"We haven’t withdrawn any services yet, but we will consider this course of action if this behaviour continues. "We will not tolerate any abusive or violent behaviour towards our staff or other customers and any such incidents will be reported to Police Scotland.”
