Other Revisions
Up to three accompanied children under five can now travel free with any fare paying customer.
We’ve seen a significant increase in those pre-purchasing their tickets online through our website. For those who plan their journey in advance and buy online through our website airport ticket prices will remain unchanged.
In nearly six years of operation Edinburgh Trams has gone from strength to strength with strong commercial success and a growing number of loyal customers.
Lea Harrison, Managing Director, Edinburgh Trams said:
“This is the first fares increase since early 2018. Over the years we have made significant improvements within the current line, more trams to meet with demand and running earlier and later. Increasing fares is never a popular choice, but it has been a necessary decision for Edinburgh Trams to make. These fare changes will help us to remain competitively priced, whilst allowing us to make more changes for the benefit of the customer.”
George Lowder, Chief Executive, Transport for Edinburgh and Chair of UK Tram said:
“With public transport usage in the UK in decline both Edinburgh Trams and Lothian have worked tirelessly to buck this trend to ensure Edinburgh has an integrated transport system, worthy of the Capital City, and the surrounding areas that support and feed its success.”
Councilor Karen Doran, Transport and Environment Vice Convener Councillor said:
“As a council owned organisation we’ve worked closely with Edinburgh Trams to ensure that these fares increases deliver value for money. We want to make sure that this continues to be a successful service while remaining accessible to all.”
