  1. Happy New Year from #Edinburgh, and a •huge thank you• to everyone at #LothianBuses and #EdinburghTrams for providing, respectively, cheap and free (and incredibly frequent) all-night services to help everyone get home safely from celebrating #Hogmanay! ☺️🍾🥂

  3. When the #Edinburgh #municipal #LothianBuses bus network gets •completely borked• because of traffic congestion (and really not helped by other diversions in effect today), the only sensible thing for a city claiming to be #sustainable to do would be to close this important bus corridor to private cars (at least for the day), to keep the city and its citizens moving! @EdinburghGreens

  4. Ticketless #trams travel coming soon to #EdinburghTrams with the introduction of tap on / tap off payment by contactless bank card, including a maximum fare cap – finally integrated with #LothianBuses to allow proper #multimodal journeys.

    (#TransportForEdinburgh travel passes (aka “Ridacards”) still offer the best value for very frequent travellers.)

  6. OAP Bus Pass application has been sent off 😮

    Not that bothered about buses to be honest, as I’m extremely fit and walk everywhere in the city centre.

    But free bus and tram travel to/from Edinburgh Airport is quite an incentive to have one.

  7. @enobacon Good point! But the other aspect of the #municipal bus company having #GPS tracking of buses is that Control can see when this sort of thing happens, and can radio the drivers to transfer pax from one bus at a suitable point and then turn the other one back to try to restore normal service. To their credit, #LothianBuses are normally pretty good at this. 👍

  9. For the first time in my life, I have encountered the “You wait ages for a bus and then two come at once” scenario…

    (Actually, very little waiting, the #TfE #Edinburgh #LothianBuses #BusTracker app means you can leave to get to the stop just before the right time. ☺️

    But two buses on the same (less frequent) service route right behind each other? Something didn’t quite work out right somewhere!)

  11. First of Lothian’s fully electric double deck buses hit the road - #LothianBuses

    Next level Ev's... 😉

    Zei er nog iemand 'waterstof' als het om publiek transport gaat? 😇

    While awaiting delivery of the buses, extensive works have been underway (...). Once plugged in, it will take just 3-4 hours to fully charge the batteries powering each bus.

  13. Has anyone else noticed that the new bus stop displays for #LothianBuses in #Edinburgh have a tendency to "lose" the next bus (or 2) a few minutes before it's due to arrive? I've noticed it at a few stops across the city since the new displays were installed. I'm sure the old ones never had this issue.

  15. Does anybody in #Edinburgh know a reliable way to find an up-to-date #LothianBuses network map?

    I know one exists, but in the app and their website I can only find ones for individual lines...

  16. Packed bus this morning, sweltering hot, fewer than half of the windows open and I only see one other person wearing a mask.
