| There are two bus operators in Edinburgh: Lothian Regional Transport (LRT) and Scottish Motor Traction (SMT). Buses run from 06h00 am to midnight. After midnight, there’s a night service. Prices range from 0.80 GBP to 1.00 GBP (03 GBP for night buses; kindly note that passengers must give the exact change to night buses drivers). Different travelcards offer reduced rates. Lothian Buses offer the Day Saver travelcard with unlimited travels on all lines during one day for 2.30 GBP. The company also offers weekly travelcards (15 GBP) and monthly travelcards (45 GBP) for unlimited travels. First Edinburgh also offer daily (FirstDay), weekly (FirstWeek) and monthly (FirstMonth) travelcards with unlimited travels in Edinburgh and its area. Prices vary according to travel zones and type of card (prices indicated are estimated prices for your information). All Lothian Buses cards can be bought at Waverley Bridge Ticket Centre. Waverley Bridge is open all week from 08h30 to 17h30 in summer and from 08h30 to 16h00 in winter.
Taxis They are easily recognizable as most of the vehicles are black. You can hail a taxi on the streets but we recommend you to go to a taxi rank. Taxi drivers must have their license clearly visible. City Cabs and Central Radio Taxis are the main taxi company in Edinburgh. Fares are quite expensive (about 1.80 GBP per km / 2.30 GBP per mile). The custom is to give a 10% tip to the driver. |
