Edinburgh has a simple and efficient public transport system based mainly on two services: Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams. Lothian operates more than 50 daytime bus routes across the city and wider urban area, while the tram provides a direct link between Edinburgh Airport, the city centre and Newhaven. The network is designed to make it easy to move between the Old Town, New Town, Princes Street, Haymarket, Leith and the airport without needing a car. Airport access is especially convenient thanks to the tram and the Airlink 100 express service, which runs 24/7 between the airport and the city centre, alongside other airport bus connections within the wider Lothian network.
Included with your ConetPass — automatically.
ConetPass, the digital travel pass managed by Conet, operates also in Edinburgh, where it gives access to selected public transport services through a fully digital solution. The pass is designed for visitors who want to move around Edinburgh easily with one booking.
The pass gives access to the following services:
It is available in digital format, with options including 1-day, 3-day, 4-day, and 5-day passes. 100% digital, no physical pickup required.
ConetPass Edinburgh includes the following transport services:
The pass is based on Edinburgh Trams. Official multi-day airport tickets for 3, 4, and 5 days include unlimited tram travel within the city zone plus one trip to and from Edinburgh Airport.
Note: buses are not included in these multi-day tram tickets, and Edinburgh has no metro system.
ConetPass Edinburgh is based on tickets that are only valid on Edinburgh Trams services. This means the pass does not include other public transport services in the city. The following services are not included:
The airport shuttle is included only if you selected it when purchasing your pass. In Edinburgh, the airport shuttle service is Airlink 100, operated by Lothian Buses.
It connects Edinburgh Airport with the city centre, including Waverley Bridge and St Andrew Square. It runs 24 hours a day, with departures up to every 10 minutes during the day and every 15–20 minutes overnight. Key stops include Haymarket, Princes Street, St Andrew Square, and Waverley Bridge.
If the airport shuttle was not selected, it is not included in the pass.
To request your Edinburgh Travel Card, please follow the instructions in your confirmation email.

Edinburgh has one tram route. For most visitors, the most useful tram stops are the ones that connect the airport, the city centre, Waverley Station, Leith, and Newhaven. The official route runs from Edinburgh Airport through the city centre and on to Leith, Ocean Terminal, and Newhaven.
The most useful stops for tourists are usually:
For specific attractions, Murrayfield Stadium is also a key stop for visitors attending events, and the tram is promoted as a direct way to reach it from both the airport side and the city centre side.
A practical note for tourists: trams generally run every 7 minutes during the day and every 10 minutes in the early morning and evening, so they are one of the easiest ways to move between the airport, central Edinburgh, and Leith
