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
Weve made it easy to let your friends and family know when youll 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 dont need the app) and see when youll 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.

Pros and cons of Transport for Edinburgh app for iPhone and iPad

Transport for Edinburgh app good for

First time in Edinburg, bought the £4 day pass 2 days in a row and went everywhere! The app worked seamlessly. We must have used the bus at least 10 times to different places like out to the royal yacht Brittania. The app suggests routes, tracks your progress in real time and even warns you that your stop is coming up. Brilliant! P.S instead of paying £15 for a hop on hop off, use the Lothian buses, sit upstairs at the front and just hop on and off all day. These buses go everywhere and a lot cheaper!
I cannot understand why anybody would give this app a negative review. It is fantastic and very easy to use. I recently visited Edinburgh for the first time, and this app was perfect for me. I just typed in where I was and where I wanted to go and it showed me what bus to take and when the bus was due. I simply tapped on the bus I wanted, and when I was aboard I could see all the stops it would make along the way. A beacon shows where you are, so you know when to get off the bus. I will definitely use this app again when I return to Edinburgh next summer.
i was visiting edinburgh and staying for five days. This is a must-have app for touring this city, letting you easily know where and when to take a bus. easy to use :)
Very beautifull and usefull app ! But each time I plan a journey the app crash!! Please fix that ASAP!!
We were on holidays in edinburgh and this app really helps a lot. Route Maps with GPS Location and ALL stops are extremely helpful. I wish we would have this kind of App in my hometown
Thank you!! Going from one of the worst apps Ive ever experienced to one that finally works like a travel app should. The bus system in Edinburgh stays confusing but it seems your app can solve parts of that now. Looking forward to using it.

Some bad moments

I am a tourist in edinburgh and i would like to see this app work without mobile data cause i dont have a flatrate in other countrys as my homecountry
This is a review for the service itself, not the app. Having traveled globally, Ive seen many takes on public transport services. This is by far the worst. The first reason being the cost. Its unexpectedly expensive for a bus to... Anywhere. Almost double what Ive seen in most other countries. The second and worst reason being the timing. The buses dont take too long getting to the destination, but thats only if you can catch one. The buses often run 20 minutes early or late from their scheduled times and are incredible unreliable. My partner, a long time resident of Edinburgh, knows that the schedules and times provided by the website and app are pointless and might as well not exist. In my case, this caused me to miss a fairly important event as on that day, they only came once every hour. Walk if you possibly can or get a cab. Itll be more money but youll save yourself a huge headache.
It doesnt work anymore with all stops. Can you fix this obscene scam? Thank you.
This app is horrible and confusing to use. It was much better before the update. Go back to what works! Just awful.
On iPhone 5, iOS7, this app is just crashing all the time. Impossible to launch this at least once.
Continuously crashes, cannot complete a single action with it crashing ! Very disappointed !
