I read with interest the exciting news about Stagecoach’s “driverless bus” on a 14-mile route from Ferrytoll park and ride in Fife to the Edinburgh Park train and tram interchange.

The self-driving bus has taken its first journey carrying passengers across Scotland's Forth Road Bridge.

The service, which aims to carry 10,000 passengers a week over a 22.5-kilometre route on five single-deck buses, will be the world's first automated local bus service, its operator said.

The service will start taking paying customers between Fife and Edinburgh on Monday.
