Lothian has done nothing to stop the use of car drivers going to the retail parks.
Eh?
How are they meant to stop car drivers driving to such places?
Ocean Terminal has the 11/22/34/35/36/200 (with the 10/16 passing near by)
Fort Kinnaird has the 30/49/106/400
Straiton has the 37/47/63
Hermiston Gate has the 2/20/36/63
The Gyle has the 2/12/20/21/22/36/63/275/300/400
Craigleith has the 38/42 (with the 41/43 passing near by)
That's a pretty good spread of services/ destinations, compared to most cities, where bus operators have given up on competing for out-of-town destinations.
As I may have said before on this thread (I've certainly thought it), if people think Edinburgh's bus network isn't perfect, they should try seeing what other towns and cities have to put up with!
