I needed to know that. It was the number 1 bus I was waiting for at the Tron when I saw the headline 'Hearts to Buy Hibs!'. Thanks!  

I think 1 was anti clockwise? 

I would get that from Gorgie to the Royal Mile and the 6 back home.

My proudest bus moment was last year getting a single fare from Princes Street to Musselburgh for 26p, containing one 5p and the rest in coppers. A full £1.34 short. Roond ye LRT, roond ye.

Think the bell ringer was on the same 43 bus going in to St Andrews Square as me yesterday. Went bell happy on George Street.

 

I take it you want to get off aye ?!

Was that in the days when the 'corporation' buses had those square wee tickets?

I thought the wee square tickets were on the LRT buses that used to pop out a wee red box by the drivers door but my memory could be playing tricks on me.

Were the tickets not square with a wee semi circular notch cut out the top and the bottom?

 

I want to say they were a green colour.

I’ve always maintained it’s the best tasting ticket they ever made.

Are these ones brick-proof?

£2.50 a single within a couple of months likely. 🥲

 

That's a big increase if that's the case

Another advantage being old having the concession card.

£2.50 for a single? **** that :laugh:

 

They'd need to introduce fare stages again which would just be a headache. However a quick 5-10 min hop down the road costing the same to get to the end of Leith from Baberton during major price hikes is ridiculous (if true).

 

Given that ***** who drive electric cars can park at my work for free and charge for free as part of an incentive, I might just say to my bosses I'll work from home unless you subsidise the bus (a chunk of my job requires onsite work).

Wouldn't have thought so. Can't see them getting more than £2 over the next few years.

 

Reckon we'll see a £5 daysaver first.

I do think we are spoilt with our buses in Edinburgh and the modern additions lately have been superb. All the more season that ripping up the roads for ****ing trams is pointless, especially if it means having tram lines blocking the view from Princes St (again)

I'm sure I can mind green and pink versions of those.

 

Edit: Here's a pink one.

I've got one of these tokens, don't know where I got it from.
