Here at Edinburgh Trams, weâre huge rugby fans, and since the tram line opened in 2014, weâve been inviting game attendees to âTryâ the tram to Murrayfield and Hive Stadiums, so weâre proud to throw our support behind Edinburgh Rugby as a Community Partner for the 2024 season.
The partnership formalises a relationship which extends back to the very beginning our Edinburgh operation in 2014.
We're expecting May to be a big month for us, and between the start of the summer concerts at Murrayfield and the launch of our brand-new Tap on, Tap off service, we're very excited that it's finally here!
Edinburgh really feels like it's ramping up towards the summer, now - if you're looking for things to do in the city this month, here's our list of recommendations.
It will soon be easier than ever to pay for travel on Edinburghâs popular tram network as final tests get underway on a new âTap on, Tap offâ payment system.
Weâre gearing up for a busy Easter weekend as Edinburgh prepares for the return of Terminal V at the Royal Highland Centre.
Itâs officially the Easter Holidays, and if you arenât jetting off somewhere warm and sunny-side-up, thereâs plenty to do in Edinburgh, especially while itâs warm(ish) and sunny(ish) here too!
See our full list of cracking recommendations below â and donât forget, if youâre taking the wee ones out for the day, you can buy a Family Day Tripper ticket in advance on the Edinburgh Ticket website to get the best value for money.
No, you do not need to tap off, but you must tap on to validate your card before boarding. Our onboard staff can then verify this when checking tickets.
If you have Tapped On and donât Tap Off when you leave the tram, youâll be charged a Single Airport fare â so please remember to Tap Off! Maximum fares, including the fare for a card not being tapped off, will not be included in daily or weekly capping.
Our Ticketing Service Assistants will still be working on the trams, and they will tap your card again on their handheld devices to do an inspection tap. If you have not tapped on, you will not be considered to have a valid ticket, and will automatically be charged the onboard fare of ÂŁ10. This does not count towards your daily or weekly cap.
The system is designed for solo adult tickets. For the best family rates, you can still buy tickets at the Ticket Vending Machines on platforms, on the et app or Bus & Tram app, or via Edinburgh Ticket. All currently accepted concession passes will still be accepted.
No â capping can only be applied to the exact card or device used, so please continue to only use that contactless card or device for the rest of that day, or week if you want to benefit from weekly capping. If you swap between different cards and devices, your payments will not be capped, even if youâre swapping between digital and physical versions of the same card.
For example, if you use both a contactless card and a phone to pay for travel in the same day, your payments will not be capped (even if theyâre funded by the same bank account).
