Master the Tap Tap Cap Bus System
Categories: Transportation
When navigating Edinburgh, skip the hassle of buying paper tickets or figuring out complex transit zones. The city's primary bus network, Lothian Buses, features an incredibly smart contactless payment system called Tap Tap Cap. Simply tap your physical contactless bank card or mobile device (Apple Pay or Google Pay) on the reader near the driver when boarding.
Unlike London, you do not need to tap off when exiting Edinburgh buses. The system automatically calculates your journeys and caps your daily spend at the price of a day ticket, no matter how many times you ride. Just ensure you use the exact same card or device for every journey throughout the day to trigger the cap.
