Edinburgh to get 'biggest public transport expansion this century' says councillor

Plans are to be unveiled before the end of the year for "the biggest expansion in public transport our capital has seen this century," Edinburgh City Council 's transport convener has announced.

Councillor Scott Arthur said the council's minority Labour administration plans to work with residents and the Scottish Government to "transform and de-carbonise" Edinburgh's transport system and invest in active transport.
