Your new everyday journeys
Get familiar with the route to campus, local buses and the tram.
Last reviewed: 15 September 2026 · UniVi editorial team1. Try your campus route before class
Ask your buddy to walk or travel it with you. Note the correct campus, nearest stop, and a backup route. Save a map for times when your phone has no signal.
2. Check how to pay
Lothian’s current guidance explains contactless payment and fare capping. Bus and tram rules differ, so check the operator’s instructions for the journey you are making.
3. Keep a backup
Check whether your card is accepted, keep your phone charged, and know how you will get home after an evening out. Prices and schedules can change; use the operator’s current information.
