Award for Edinburgh
Edinburgh has been ranked 13th out of 19 cities with the best public transport in the world by Time Out in a recent survey.
Cllr Scott Arthur, Transport and Environment Convener, said: “It’s no secret that Edinburgh boasts a world-beating public transport system, and I am proud to see this recognised. Our award-winning Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams services are known and loved by residents citywide, and customer satisfaction continues to rise. This is a huge achievement for all the staff in these two great companies.
“As Scotland’s Capital we need to respond to a growing population, increased congestion and air pollution and the challenges posed by climate change, and improving access to public transport is central to this. We’re already nearing the completion of Trams to Newhaven, which will provide an affordable, reliable and high capacity transport link to the north of the city. At the same time we are prioritising plans to improve bus journey times on arterial routes into Edinburgh.”

The annual cost is £33, some of which covers the postage costs and the rest will help us to keep bringing you the news and producing a newspaper.
Our target is to recruit 500 new subscribers in 2023 as this would ensure production of the paper for a whole year. And any surplus would of course be reinvested in our site, or in employing a new member of staff.
If an annual subscription is too much of a commitment then could we ask you to contribute a smaller amount – for a cup of coffee – through ko-fi. Any small amount helps us a lot – and it takes a lot of coffee to produce the news.
