One of the easiest ways to get to and from campus

Catching a bus is one of the easiest ways to get to and from campus from Edinburgh. 

We have a bus stop on site so you can hop on and off easily and as frequently as you want. Here are your options: 

You can catch the local bus services 25, 32, 34, 45, 63, and N25/N34 (night bus) to the Edinburgh Campus. Service 25 is the most frequent, leaving the city centre every 10 minutes throughout the day, and every 15 minutes after 8.00pm. 

Depending on the time of day you're travelling, the journey can take 30-40 minutes from the city centre, so take a good book or get your favourite tunes downloaded on to your phone.

Fares from the city won't break your bank either, get a single for £1.80, or else a day ticket is just £4.50, allowing you to hop on and off all day.

All fares can be paid with contactless. According to Lothian Bus, adult passengers can benefit from discounted daily and and weekly capping when using TapTapCap from as little as £4.80 per day and £22 per week. On Lothian city buses, just board and tap. On all other services, board and state your destination, then tap when prompted
