Buses and trams with contactless (TapTapCap)

In Edinburgh you don't need to buy passes: with TapTapCap you pay for each journey by holding your card or phone to the reader and, the next day, Lothian charges you only what corresponds to the cheapest cap. On buses and trams within the city you never pay more than £5.70 a day or £26.50 a week (Monday to Sunday). On the bus you just tap as you board; on the tram you have to tap on the platform when you get on and when you get off. Each traveller needs their own card or phone, and always the same one: if you switch from one to another, the cap doesn't apply. Children aged 5 to 15 and families pay with a paper ticket, bought from the driver; up to three under-5s travel free with an adult. The airport and the Airlink are outside the city cap.
