Get on board! Bus services survey

Did you know: the council subsidises some bus services on routes where commercial bus operators would not be able to cover their costs. We do this where no alternative route exists and may pay a commercial operator to cover a whole route, or part of a route at a particular time of day, if a need is identified. Many of these are in rural areas.

Transport Services is consulting on its supported buses with a short online questionnaire and a series of drop-in events. The survey attempts to establish where the greatest need for supported bus services in East Lothian is so that we can spend our budget most effectively.
