Edinburgh Bus Users Demand Action | Glasgow News

Edinburgh’s bus users are demanding the city council use its £5 million fire recovery fund to fix the transport mess caused by a July fire on Princes Street — which shut down trams in the north and east for over a month. The Bus Users’ Group wants temporary bus priority lanes, new stops, and a dedicated bus route to replace trams if Princes Street isn’t reopened by August. While Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams scramble to keep services running — including tram-to-bus ticket swaps — critics slam the council for taking nearly a month to confirm the funding, slower than Glasgow’s £10 million response. Council leaders admit frustration over the delay but vow to make the most of the funds. With the damaged building still unrepaired and daily life disrupted, the real test is whether these temporary fixes can ease the strain on commuters — and whether Edinburgh gets the support it needs to recover.
