Coastal Commuters Rally for Direct Bus Routes: Edinburgh Petition Gains Traction

A petition advocating for coastal bus routes between Edinburgh and East Lothian has garnered nearly 4,300 signatures since its launch in December 2024. The petition, initiated by Emily, aims to establish dedicated and frequent bus services to seaside destinations, addressing the current convoluted paths and lengthy transfers. Emilys motivation stems from her own experience of enduring a one-hour twenty-minute bus commute from Musselburgh to Leith, compared to a mere thirteen minutes by car. The proposed routes include a line from Leith to Musselburgh and another to Cramond, with stops at high-traffic areas like Musselburgh High Street and Great Junction Street. The petition seeks to improve daily life and leisure in coastal communities, not just city center runs, and has put the City of Edinburgh Council on notice.
