If you wish to apply for a new Ridacard, please visit our Waverley Bridge, Shandwick Place or East Coast Buses TravelHubs where a member of the team will be happy to assist.
Ridacards can be used for travel on all Lothian Buses services, NightBuses, Lothian Country (city & cityWEST zones) and East Coast Buses zones A & B. Ridacard is not valid for travel on special services, East Coast Buses zones C-F and Edinburgh Bus Tours. Ridacards can also be used for travel on Edinburgh Trams in both the Airport and City Fare Zones, but must be successfully validated on one of the Platform Validators at each tram stop, prior to boarding the tram otherwise the on-board fare of £10 will be required.
A card issue fee (currently £3) is payable when a Ridacard is issued.
