The service is set to begin on October 22, with tickets from the Granite City to the Capital costing £15.50

The route will start from Bridge of Don Park & Ride, with convenient stops on St Peter Street, Union Street, and at Bridge of Dee.

A direct route to Edinburgh Airport is also available with the service.

Operating 2o services throughout the day and night, a wide variety of destinations are available to pre-booked passengers.

Tickets must be pre-booked, whether it’s weeks or even minutes before.

Ahead of the full launch on the 22nd, Ember will soft-launch some limited-stop services.

The full route with stops can be found here .

Ember was started in 2019 as the world’s first all-electric intercity bus operator.

The founders say: “By using electric vehicles, we can reduce our impact on the planet whilst also offering a better customer experience. We’re based in Edinburgh and have a local office in Dundee.”
