RELBUS has provided further evidence of the improvements to the local bus service as a result of East Coast Buses taking over from First at the end of the summer. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had been concerned about lack of competition on part of the route, but RELBUS argues that this is far from being the case with no less than four fully independent and thriving bus operators in the area, and the quality and frequency of services into Edinburgh and across the county continues to improve.
