It's actually €23.50 but by Ryanair's definition that's close.

Walked by an ad for Edinburgh airport bus £8 open return.
So I checked:
Edinburgh City Centre to airport 8.7miles - 30mins
Glasgow City Centre to Airport 9.1miles - 16mins
Glasgow airport bus is £17:50 return.
Same distance, twice the price.
Win for cooncil buses!

He once photobombed me while I was off the west coast of Scotland.
