8pm No 10 to Bonaly from Princes Street – let’s make sure we use it!

In February 2018 an early evening, 8pm, Monday to Saturday, No 10 service from Princes Street to Bonaly was introduced.

We need to ensure this service is regularly used if we wish to retain it. It is a ‘hail and ride’ service which can be boarded anywhere from the Bonaly Corner Shop to the top of Laverockdale Crescent, thereafter there is a stop on aveockdale Crescent.

If this service is a success and there is community support for extending it, the Community Council could lobby for:

• three truly additional Bonaly evening services, Monday to Saturday at 21.00; 22.00; and 23.00

The proposed additional services could also include:

•  a loop around Bonaly to Torphin on some or all of the proposed evening services –possibly on the last service of the evening?

We can only lobby for this with community support!

So---what do you think?
