Travel with Megabus buses
Megabus is a very cheap way to travel by coach to other Scottish towns from Edinburgh. It is the equivalent of a low cost airline. You can take trips using Megabus to Dundee, Inverness, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Perth.
The bus service is frequent which means that if one fails to turn up you can always catch the next one. One word of warning, cost of travel by Megabus is very low but the standard and quality of service, like with any budget transportation company, leaves to be desired.
The only way to buy tickets for Megabus journeys is online, on their website. You will be given a reservation number which you must take with you before your trip. Buses leave from St. Andrews bus station.
