You are going on holiday to the beautiful city of Edinburgh, capital of Scotland are using the Internet to plan your trip.

 

Go to

the Lothian Buses website

(Lothian is the region to which Edinburgh belongs)

and find out the following information (you do not need to write complete sentences):

 

  1. How much will it cost to take the bus from Edinburgh airport to the city centre? (You should buy a return ticket, as you will also take the bus back to the airport at the end of your holiday.)

  2. Your flight arrives at about noon. How frequently do the buses to the city centre run at that time of day?

  3. Where can you buy your ticket for the airport bus?

  4. Your hotel is at Shandwick Place. Where should you get out of the airport bus (give the name of the bus stop)?

  5. The day after your arrival you intend first to walk to Princes Street (the “Bahnhofstrasse” of Edinburgh) and afterwards take a bus from there to Edinburgh Zoo. Which bus can you take?

  6. If you ask for a single ticket and give the driver a £10 note, how much change will he give you?

  7. How much will your ticket cost a) if you buy a single ticket and walk back to your hotel? b) if you buy a day ticket?

  8. If you use the bus four times every day during your seven-day visit, what will be the cheapest type of ticket for you, and what will the total cost be?

  9. You want to go for an early-morning run along the beach at Portobello one morning – you need to take service number 12, and the nearest bus stop to your hotel is called Haymarket West Maitland Street. What is the earliest bus you can take, and what time will you arrive in Portobello King’s Road?

  10. You decide to go for a night out… and it gets very late. You don’t have enough money for a taxi and it’s too far to walk, so how much will it cost you to get back to the hotel?
