Lothian Buses has announced that they'll be reducing services across Edinburgh from next week due to the "extraordinary" coronavirus situation.
Bosses at the transport operator say there will be less buses on the roads from Monday (23 March), subject to approval from the Traffic Commissioner.
They add they'll be looking to operate vital links, and keep customers up to date, with the latest information as it happens.
Detailed updates on service levels are expected to be issued on Friday afternoon.
Nigel Serafini, commercial director at Lothian, said: "These are extraordinary circumstances we are operating in and teams from across our business are working tirelessly to put plans in place as to how best to deal with this fast-changing situation.
"While the priority of maintaining services is of paramount importance, as the situation develops, we now need to factor in the impact on staffing levels being experienced.
“By introducing a reduced service from Monday, we are aiming to ensure we can continue to provide vital links across the city for those who rely on our services.
"We would encourage customers to plan their journeys in advance using our mobile app or website and follow our social media channels for updates.”
