The council installed 330 bus trackers on the street in the last several months, but confusingly the system has not shown up to date information on bus movements of any of the 15 operators which use it until now.
Transport Convener, Cllr Scott Arthur confirmed that Lothian Buses has now installed bus trackers on at least 550 of their fleet of 700 buses, but testing continues for now. It is envisaged that the system will show live information for Lothian by the middle of next month.
Council officers continue to speak with bus operators to ensure that the data displayed is accurate. The bus tracker system will also be used by other local authorities in the area.
Any disruption to services will not be displayed until August this year.
