General travel advice
Getting around Edinburgh
The easiest way to get around Edinburgh is by walking (the city centre is quite small) or by bus.
Buses

Lothian Buses
The Lothian buses are maroon and white, both single and double deckers. They run bus services across the city and to outlying areas, most of Edinburgh has a very good bus service. They offer a student ridacard which can be bought weekly or monthly. Standard adult fare is £1.30 per journey, so if you’re going to be making more than 10 journeys a week it is a good idea to get the ridacard.
Lothian buses also have travel shops in the city centre. The nearest one to Moray House is at 31 Waverley Bridge, EH1 1BQ.
