Transport for Edinburgh

We have used this app and the buses for the last five days while visiting Edinburgh. Made getting around the city VERY EASY. Good job Lothien!

Easy to navigate, and very intuitive, once you become familiar with all its loads of helpful features. Love the “Saved” feature, to save most traveled routes. The live tracker is fantastic, so you can see every stop along the route. You can pretty much get anywhere, with this app. Highly recommend it.

I try to sign in but crashes every time

It cannot possibly be that hard to update the app when a bus stop is closed/route rerouted it’s basically your only job. This is like the third separate incident where I’ve gotten to a bus stop to find it with a big out of service sign on it and the app refuses to show me any options that don’t involve the incorrect useless info until I walk like fifteen min from where I am

Beware!Cannot be used for more than one passenger. You will be able to buy more than one but can’t use at same time. Awful for people traveling together

I bought 4 tickets for self and spouse round trip. Bus driver said I could only use them for myself. We didn’t have exact change. App requires another app, m-ticket, for ticket purchase. That app has an extensive account setup rigmarole including accepting lengthy privacy policies, so most likely is monetizing your location data. It was quicker to run across the road and purchase something at a newsagent to get change than download and set up the app at the bus stop. Are kids supposed to have their own phones as well?

I am not real happy with this app. After spending a week in London with an amazing app to get around, this one just stinks. Too often I get a message that essentially says you can’t get there from here. I can’t see an overview of the system to help me decide which routes I want to take. And it would be really handy to tie this to my ticketing rather than have them separate. Oh! Twice I have been directed to take walks through alleyways or other sketchy areas to get to a bus. No thank you. Safety is more important than the shortest route.

It’s spot on for bus timings but why do I need a separate app to purchase bus fares? On my first trip to Edinburgh, this was confusing and when I downloaded the mfares app, I couldn’t get a single ticket because the minimum spend was £4. I had to walk and a bus driver took pity on me because I just landed from another country and didn’t have exact change, so he gave me a free ride. Devs-Take a note from Swissrail’s “SBB Mobile” app which does it all in one app and is much more efficient to use.

The app was a life saver. Moving around in a strange city is usually horrific but this app makes navigating Edinburgh so easy and worry-free. Of course the bus system is Edinburgh helps too. Great job.

The family ticket is great.
