Bus
Lothian Buses - UK Bus Operator of the Year
2007 - carries 350,000 passengers every weekday. This means
that Edinburgh has the highest bus use, per head of population, of
any city in the UK outside of London.
The Inspiring Capital also has the most
frequent buses in Scotland – with half of services operating at
least once every 13 minutes. Eighty per cent of Lothian
buses are now low-floor, helping people with disabilities,
luggage and buggies. Free local bus travel for pensioners was also
pioneered in Edinburgh and now operates across the whole of
Scotland. The city has the UK's cheapest bus day ticket. An
extensive inter-city bus network links Edinburgh city region to
points across Scotland and the UK.
