I threw in a handful of coins the other day and asked for a ticket back to Musselburgh. I paid about 30p less than the ticket price which was 30p more than I'd been charged for the same journey two days before. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16426#post-225784 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 09:36:12 +0000 chdot 225784@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>EastCoastbuses launches two new routes on Sunday 14 August connecting North Berwick with Musselburgh and Edinburgh and Dunbar with Haddington and Edinburgh.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="https://eastcoastbuses.co.uk" rel="nofollow">https://eastcoastbuses.co.uk</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16426#post-221141 Fri, 27 May 2016 09:03:08 +0000 Min 221141@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oops, I do know the difference between fare and fair by the way.</p> <p>The First Bus fare system is not fair. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16426#post-221139 Fri, 27 May 2016 08:52:48 +0000 paulmilne 221139@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I usually try to grab a Perryman's bus from/to Dunbar when I have to take a bus. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16426#post-221135 Fri, 27 May 2016 07:48:47 +0000 Min 221135@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"routes have not been viable" </p> <p>Would that be ever since you started the "exact change only" regime despite it not being possible to find out what the fair is before you actually get on the bus?</p> <p>I hate them but they are better than nothing.

They already have the new offshoot East Lothian Buses, so I imagine some deal could be struck with East Lothian Council to sort out services to Musselburgh and North Berwick. I mean the 26 already goes to Seton Sands, and the 44 to Tranent. So it's not a great leap to imagine East Lothian Buses running the replacements for North Berwick for example. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16426#post-220827 Tue, 24 May 2016 18:30:03 +0000 firedfromthecircus 220827@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This should be looked on as an opportunity to get a decent responsible bus operator to run East Lothians main bus network. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16426#post-220812 Tue, 24 May 2016 16:00:49 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 220812@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/first-bus-to-axe-all-east-lothian-services-threatening-88-jobs-1-4136617" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/first-bus-to-axe-all-east-lothian-services-threatening-88-jobs-1-4136617</a> </p>
