Absolutely right and I'm wrong. I passed the usual pair this morning. I do have to point a couple of minor differences in the route when the last two buses on a Saturday head straight for Drumchapel from Anniesland rather than via yoker .

The decision has already been made. Consultations, like those in the NHS, are a farce.
I dfon't doubt First have a favoured outcome in mind but it's still possible to have some influence.
Remember the business re the 42 and the 9 swapping routes between Kelvingrove and the city centre? It took a while but we got that reversed - even if some of the Argyle St bus shelters still carry 42 service timetables
Barely notice the 42 now runs along with other bus routes that are higher in freq like the 9 and 62.

Yeah and I've just heard that the 62 is now the 2!! - what are they on? The 62 has always been "my" bus thank you very much, the artery from Shettleston into the town - how dare they tinker with decades old tradition! (even though I've always preferred the train into Queen St LL...hypocrite that I am!)

Only the number has changed.
Same route. Same timetable. Same bams.

I wouldn't be so annoyed had my bus stop not originally been in the outer city zone, then moved into £3.45 territory without any publicity - indeed, the online map of the zones still on the site up until SimpliCITY came in still had it in the city zone, and it's still in the city as far as night bus fares are concerned.
A flat fare across the whole of the Glasgow metropolitan area is badly needed, a la TFL or Lothian buses.
*goes to look with envy at Lothian Buses website with it's £1.50 flat fare and all-week night services*
