Lothian Buses will make changes to its services from Sunday 14 November.
The bus company has said that they are facing recruitment challenges like other transport operators and are having difficulties in providing drivers each day.
As new members of staff are progressed through the recruitment system this should become easier to managed but they have made changes to the timetables to make their services more reliable.
In addition as there will be closures on North Bridge and there are ongoing works at York Place, changes have been made. Read about the changes here.
