An alternative (or perhaps additional scheme) would be to have lots of buses that basically ran at right angles to the tram routes as they build out.

On reflection I think the most obvious thing to do would be to make sure the new (second) tram line goes through Shawfair on the Borders Railway and through Haymarket station and turn both of those in to bus hubs and then make sure a third line also went through Shawfair and one of the stations that connect to the line running along the A1 coastal route. That way you link up train, tram and buses in several different directions and several different places.

Edinburgh will be nice when it's finished, I just hope they manage to finish it before I die.
