Being a Teuchter from the islands and not having been on a bus in Edinburgh for about 6 years I can’t remember whether you can pay with notes on buses or do you need change. Serious question.

Exact fare only

Exact fare only, ie no change given. You can get a credit note from the driver if you overpay but it can only be cashed in at Lothian buses office(s).

Ok thanks for that.

£1.30 single, £3.50 day ticket. Bargain

How awkward, no change! No wonder people dont want to travel on the damn things.

£1.30 for a single! Blomin heck that is cheap, in Aberdeen a standard single is £2 or for the full length of an inner city route it can be £2.40. For a peak rate day ticket it £4.50.

Rusty, my thoughts exactly!

@£1.30 I’d use the bus, @ £2.40 I mostly walk. Aye, an Aberdonian born and bred, why’d you ask? 😀

£1.40, keep up!

Eeh I remember when it was 60p.

Best bus service I’ve ever used though. If you are getting 3 or more trips in a day get a day ticket for £3.50 for infinite travel, and give it to someone at a stop when you get off, to share the love.

Eh? The Edinburgh buses are very well used.

bryan-g – if you’re around in the city for a few days, you can go to one of the Lothian Buses shops and buy a book of tickets (single or day), which you’d use instead of cash. And technically you could use a note…a £1 note 😉
