Seriously, how can a dedicated airport bus with - IIRC - few stops be compared to a tram whose primary purpose is not airport transport from Waverley (if it were, the bus would not run anymore).
Honestly, from anywhere outside of Edinburgh this whole topic is more than surreal.
It is true that the tram has a few more stops.
Those in Edinburgh have taken a keen interest in this comparison for a very long time. Here is an example from the Internet Archive..
Edinburgh trams ‘will be as quick as buses’
TRAM chiefs in the capital have insisted that the new service should be as speedy as the airport express bus – despite claims it could be eight minutes slower.web.archive.org
