The travel app from Lothian has everything you need to get around Edinburgh with Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams.
INSTANT DEPARTURES
Open up the app and we'll show you live times for the three nearest stops near you
An interactive map shows you every bus and tram stop around you - just tap on one to bring up an instant departure board - perfect for comparing services at different stops.
SMART SEARCH
Want to get somewhere fast? Just search for a place, address, business name... anything, and we'll show you the best way to get there. You can also search for routes - we'll even show you if a bus is nearby and show you it moving on a map.
SATNAV FOR BUS & TRAM
Plan your commute, nights out or even just a trip to the shops - we use a real-time journey planning system that takes network delays into account when showing you the best way to get to your destination, with full step-by-step instructions.
SHARE YOUR JOURNEY
We've made it easy to let your friends and family know when you'll arrive - just track your bus using the app and share a link by email, Twitter, Facebook or WhatsApp. Your friends can track your bus online (they don't need the app) and see when you'll arrive.
M-TICKETS
Using the companion m-ticket app, you can purchase single tickets and DAYtickets for many of our services.
Finally, please note that the app requires data access and works best with GPS on. Please be aware the continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
It's unbelievably bad that it's not possible to buy tickets for the transport in the same app as you use to plan your trip. It's also amazingly stupid that you can not purchase only one ticket in the app, but have to buy for £10. And since the ticket is only valid for five minutes, it's not possible to change bus without buying another ticket. As if it wasn't enough with stupidness, the tickets for bus and trams are the same, but the tickets are different. It's almost as if the city of Edinburgh doesn't want people to use the public transport, and especially not visitors. Why would a visitor want to purchase tickets for £10? Or how could visitors now that you need exact change to buy a ticket? As if it wasn't stupid enough to only be able to pay with cash on board.
