Make Ridacard your ‘Smart Pic’ this yearSign up for your student Ridacard and get involved in our fun student events and competitions

Getting around in a new city can be difficult when you don’t know street names, areas or even the language.

Lothian can help make the transition to Edinburgh as a place of study easy for you.

We’ll be at Edinburgh student fairs from 4-11 September to give you information on the buses, tickets, timetables and our app to help get you to and from college, university and anywhere else you need to go.

This year we are teaming up with Capital FM to help you make ‘#TheSmartPic’ with a host of fun competitions, giveaways and fun photo opportunities – You can even WIN a 9 month Ridacard!
