Bus route is up for grabs

THE city council has advertised the contract for a new supported bus route running between the city bus station and Ratho Station.

The route, which includes provisions for stops at Ingliston Park-and-Ride and the Gyle Centre, would provide greater extra access between the Capital and the commuter town.

The tender for the project is listed as 800,000 to 850,000, and would see the operator provide the route for a total of five years.
