Flowbird has taken charge of ticketing infrastructure on a tramline extension in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Edinburgh Trams, operator of the tramway in the Scottish capital, launched a three-mile extension this month, with eight new stops providing access from the city's airport to Newhaven, serving densely-populated areas including Leith Walk.
A turn-up and go service is operating, with trams running every seven minutes from 6am until midnight, every day.
Flowbird installed 12 new ticket vending machines, 60 handheld devices and 100 new platform validators.
Sixty validators on the existing tram network were also updated.
David Thompson, MD at Flowbird’s UK transport division, says: “Our long-term partnership with Edinburgh Trams and its sister company Lothian Buses is helping to create a transport network fit for a great world city."
Lea Harrison, Edinburgh Trams MD, adds: “Building on the undoubted popularity of the original route, the new line opens up a wealth of opportunities for the communities it now serves.”
