According to an Edinburgh Evening News report, Edinburgh council are going to insist that house builders buy bus passes in order to secure planning permission. I am only aware of Lothian Buses offering bus passes in Edinburgh.
But hang on, Edinburgh council owns Lothian buses (according to a report in the Scotsman and elsewhere).
So the council is going to insist that people buy expensive annual bus passes from a company that they own. Is that a conflict of interest? Can they do that?
