Transport for Edinburgh is an organisation that oversees public transport in Edinburgh, Scotland. It manages the city's public transport operations in a similar manner to Transport for London, but with much fewer powers. The organisation works to integrate public transport services in Edinburgh operated by Edinburgh Trams, Lothian Buses and First Scotland East. It will eventually include cycling and walking routes within its portfolio, but will focus solely on buses and trams during its first twelve months. The formation of the organisation was announced on 15 August 2013, by Edinburgh transport convener and former Lord Provost of Edinburgh Lesley Hinds. The body holds City of Edinburgh Council's 91% stake in Lothian Buses, and its 100% stake in Edinburgh Trams. It has been reported that Transport for Edinburgh is the tenth largest employer in Edinburgh. The board of directors of the body is chaired by Lesley Hinds. She is joined on the board by transport spokesperson Joanna Mowat, and city councillors Nigel Bagshaw and Steve Cardownie. Three non-executive directors have also been hired: solicitor Ann Faulds, academic Steve Cassidy and transport specialist Tony Depledge.〔 Transport for Edinburgh does not have a separate office, but instead utilises the offices of Lothian Buses.〔 Its logo was revealed on 17 December 2013. ==See also== *Transport in Edinburgh *Proposals for new tram lines in Edinburgh 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transport for Edinburgh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
