Going to a late night Festival show, catching up with friends, or entertaining visitors?  Lothian Buses NightBus can get you home in the small hours of the morning.

harlie Wood, Director of Underbelly commented:

Underbelly is delighted to be working with Lothian Buses and NightBus this Edinburgh Festival Fringe. As Official Transport Partner, Lothian Buses provides an extensive network of services 24/7 so naturally complements us and the shows that we’re hosting at our five Underbelly venues. NightBus offers exceptional value for money and is a great way for our audience members to travel home or to their accommodation after our shows!

Leaving from the city centre, our bus services run every night, throughout the night in Edinburgh and into East Lothian and Midlothian with buses departing at least every hour but in many cases even more frequently.

Ridacards are valid on all NightBus services, as are Day&Night Tickets purchased after 6pm the previous day. Night Tickets can be purchased on the bus from the driver for £3 and can be used on multiple buses.

During this busy time Lothian Buses will be doing all it can to help you get home at night with extra staff and extra buses at busiest times and on busy routes.

Richard Hall, Managing Director of Lothian Buses, said:

We’re very much part of the Edinburgh community and the festival is a great time for the city.  With extra vehicles on standby to cope with demand and additional staff available during the day around the city to provide information, we aim to make travelling by bus as hassle free as possible during what we recognise is a very busy time.  When the night is over everyone just wants to get home as quickly and safely as possible and we’ll be playing our part to help visitors and residents alike to do just that.
