Edinburgh Bus Taxi

[Captain Trips]

My wife and I are coming through to Edinburgh in a few weeks. We have a room booked in the Malmaison in Leith.

What Bus goes there from Princess St? Or what would a private cab cost roughly from Princess Street say from Balmoral Hotel area.

Cabbies won't go that far into Leith. Too dodgy.

A taxi will be about a tenner from the Waverley.

There are several buses though and the Embrace guys will keep you right.

I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but just put it into Google maps. It'll tell you exactly which buses you can get and at what times. It will also give you prices for Uber, etc. :aok:

It's not sarcastic but I liked on this occasion to hear from people who know.

I assume that's sarcasm. A black cab will cost around £8 from Balmoral area.

No idea what Uber/PHC will charge.

Uber could be anything from a fiver to 40 quid depending on demand.

Got a taxi the other day from Waverley to Victoria Quay and it was a fair bit more than that. I’m from Edinburgh so I know the route, albeit I understand cabbies are more up to speed on road closures and traffic works.

Due to Leith St being closed it is a wee bit dearer but £10 should get you down, if it's just Prnces St you want Leith St is not a problem. There's a taxi rank on the bridge at the shore and a bus stop 20 yards from the rank, both 2 mins from the hotel.

Malmaison to Balmoral is between £6 and £9 by Uber if the prices haven’t surged. Will take you 10 mins or so.

Download the Lothian region bus ap. It will give you all routes and times.

If you download the “mytaxi” app there’s an option to estimate a fare. Let me know if you do and I’ll message you a link that gets you £15 off your first fare.

Even better, use the Traveline Scotland journey planner.

Check 'buses' on the filter tool, enter start and end point, approx time of day that you'll be travelling. Its easy to use and a great help for any journey ;-)

Is this an app?

Good stuff Billy.
The beauty about using Traveline Scotlands journeyplanner, is that it includes all operators, not just the obvious one's such as Lothian Buses as was mentioned in an earlier post.
