Buses on Princes Street, one of the main thoroughfares in Edinburgh.
Edinburgh is a major transport hub in east central Scotland and is at the centre of a multi-modal transport network with road, rail and air communications connecting the city with the rest of Scotland and internationally.
Transport is an area under the control of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government who have the statutory power to control, fund and regulate transport projects of national importance within the city. Transport for Edinburgh is the City of Edinburgh Council's executive body responsible for the development of all transport projects within the city, and it brings a number of key transport providers together under one umbrella.
