Congratulating Lothian Buses on 100 Years of Night Bus Services

Lodged by Sarah Boyack Standard Motion 17 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Lothian Buses for 100 years of night bus services in Edinburgh; understands that, since 1925, the service has grown to 18 routes running across Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lothian and Midlothian; highlights that around 10,000 miles are covered weekly by the night buses; recognises that the network only continues to exist because of its ability to adapt, a product of its own evolution; acknowledges what it sees as the commercial risk and financial commitment taken by the company since its relaunch in 2002; congratulates Lothian Buses on 800,000 journeys undertaken in 2024 alone; celebrates 100 years of what it sees as reliable and comfortable journeys undertaken by the night bus, and highlights that in the last couple of decades, the city region has grown, evolved and become a 24/7 economy, that is in part sustained by the presence of the night bus network.
