The 35 ALWAYS disappears

This is the fourth time I used the app to plan a trip taking the 35. I’ve gone to the bus stop a few minutes before the bus is supposedly going to arrive and then it never dies. And it just disappears from the app with the next 35 arriving 15 minutes later. Needless to say, I was late to my appointment.

Fantastic!

We have used this app and the buses for the last five days while visiting Edinburgh. Made getting around the city VERY EASY. Good job Lothien!

Perfect App for visitors

Easy to navigate, and very intuitive, once you become familiar with all its loads of helpful features. Love the β€œSaved” feature, to save most traveled routes. The live tracker is fantastic, so you can see every stop along the route. You can pretty much get anywhere, with this app. Highly recommend it.

Crashes

I try to sign in but crashes every time

Hilariously incompetent

It cannot possibly be that hard to update the app when a bus stop is closed/route rerouted it’s basically your only job. This is like the third separate incident where I’ve gotten to a bus stop to find it with a big out of service sign on it and the app refuses to show me any options that don’t involve the incorrect useless info until I walk like fifteen min from where I am

FAQ

What does the Transport for Edinburgh app do?

The app provides live departure times for Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams, an interactive map of stops, and smart journey planning with real-time updates. It helps users navigate Edinburgh's public transport system efficiently.

How does the journey planning feature work?

The journey planner uses a real-time system that accounts for network delays to show you the best way to reach your destination. It provides full step-by-step instructions for your commute, nights out, or any trip.

Can I buy tickets through this app?

While this app provides travel information, ticket purchases for single tickets and DAYtickets are handled through a companion m-ticket app. You will need to download that separate application to buy tickets.

What are the requirements to use the app?

The app requires data access to function correctly. It works best when GPS is enabled on your device for accurate location services and real-time tracking. Be aware that continuous GPS use can impact battery life.

How can I share my journey with others?

You can easily share your journey progress by tracking your bus or tram within the app. A link can then be shared via email, Twitter, Facebook, or WhatsApp, allowing friends and family to track your arrival online without needing the app themselves.
