From 19 May Tap on Tap Off using the platform validators on the Edinburgh trams starts, for those who wish to pay that way.
The daily fare cap (other than to the airport) will be £5, or £24.50 weekly (Monday to Sunday).
Thus finally the Lothian buses and the Trams have an integrated fare system as the caps apply across both modes.

Excellent!!! Thanks for posting. I will be returning to Edinburgh later this year. I’m happy to hear I won’t need to bother with tram tickets to and from the airport and elsewhere.
I love the convenience of tap on and off.
I’m in Dublin now and am using the leap card. Not a big deal but you do have to buy it and figure out how much money to load.
Lisbon moved to tap on and off last year. I wonder which city will be next. Or will it be an entire country like the Netherlands.
