Cameron Toll would be the ideal transport interchange - a covered, cross platform interchange with high capacity, rapid trams.
Would reduce the number of buses using the key Bridges corridor allowing more space for pedestrians along the line
Good for business too - if integrated with the centre?

The documents basically admit that the low density, spread out homes it’s building don’t support mass transport and they worry about bus services.
There’s a startling obvious omission in the response: Midlothian’s car dependency impacts Edinburgh.

Proposed Midlothian response to the tram:
“worried about commercial viability”
Strange. Will the new link road it is building be commercially viable?
What other public investment should be commercially viable in the face of low density Midlothian home building?

40mph - 50mph in bad weather, when there are queues further round or at peak times?
60mph - 70mph when it’s quieter and safer.
Don’t believe us?
Look at the crash maps for Hillend and what the RAC says about how average speed cameras reduce serious collisions by up to 46%

In 2021, Dom Luís I Bridge in Porto was refurbished. Rather than reopen it to private cars, Porto focused on prioritising public transport, taxis, pedestrians and cyclists only.
Should #Edinburgh, a city with lofty aspirations to prioritise public transport and reduce car use, follow suit?

20 minute neighbourhoods need bus priority measures and a reduction in private cars so buses are much faster and more efficient.
Based on average private car occupancy, there were as many people of the top floor of the bus this photo was taken from as there were in the queue delaying the bus.

When telling motorists they can’t pass is so important, you block the only pavement for anyone else who wants to get past too!
