The name FOCUS+ has been selected for the solution developed as part of the Driver Innovation Safety Challenge (DISC) project. This new name reflects the aim of DISC to deliver a secure and performant wearable technology solution able to improve the safety of drivers and mobile workers by monitoring their fatigue and wellbeing levels.
On Monday 22 June, Scottish Government made it mandatory to wear a face covering on public transport. As part of a campaign to encourage the public to follow government advice and wear a mask, the city’s tram operator has given some of their vehicles a makeover!
Several trams in the system can now be seen wearing blue face coverings whilst carrying essential workers across Edinburgh. These temporary stickers highlight the organisations ‘#StaySafe and Cover Up’ messaging which is mirrored in all their communications.

It is now mandatory that all customers use a face covering when on the tram.
This extra layer of protection allows you and your fellow travellers to #StaySafe if social distancing becomes difficult whilst on board. A face covering should be worn for the duration of your journey.

What should I do if have a question about my Ridacard, citysmart card or m-ticket account?
These products are administered by our sister organisation, Lothian. Please refer to their FAQs at www.lothianbuses.com
Will my ticket, smartcard or m-ticket still be checked?
We have introduced ‘touchless’ ticket checking. Ticket checks may take place on tram stops as well as on trams. Please clearly present your ticket, smartcard or m-ticket to the Ticket Inspector.
We recommend using m-tickets or smartcards to reduce surface contact with ticket machines. Remember, all tickets, smartcard and m-tickets must be purchased, validated or activated before boarding the tram otherwise the £10 on board fare will apply.
