Electric bus company Ember has announced more routes to the central belt and a new Dundee city route.

From January 11, Ember will increase the frequency of services to Edinburgh and Glasgow to 21 a day in each direction.

Currently, the firm offers 14 to Glasgow and 17 to the capital.

A new Dundee city service (E10) will also be launched linking the Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc to the city centre.

Ember will run 40 trips in each direction with three pre-booked stops on the way – linking the east side of Dundee with the central belt services.

As part of the increased service, Ember is making some route changes, including updating the timetable.

This includes changing the Glasgow pick-up point to Greenmarket. Buses will no longer stop outside Malmaison.

Buses serving Kinross will also now only stop for pre-booked passengers (bookings must be made 10 minutes in advance).

Overnight services will now call at Edinburgh Airport – providing a 24/7 service to the international airport.

Daytime services will continue to stop at Islington Park and Ride, with a tram connection to the airport included with the ticket price.
