| Comment | Buses in Edinburgh are great and easy, only one company, flat fare, decent app, screens/announcements to tell you where you are, etc.
Also they have a small tram network. All operated by the same public owned company.
Buses in Glasgow are hellish by comparison. Multiple companies, multiple ticket types. However Glasgow has the subway (ran by SPT and not subject to the current strikes) and an OK suburban rail network (operated by Scotrail and subject to the current strikes). Glasgow also has public bike rentals (currently OVO bikes/nextbikes) which Edinburgh doesnt have.
Edinburgh is hell for traffic, tourists and big hills, and the North Bridge is shut for the next eternity, lacks anything other than buses and the odd tram. Also they built the main train station at the bottom of a big hole in the ground so is terrible for accessibility. |
