Transport
Ratho is served by three bus services. Lothian Buses X12 gives the village an express (limited stop) link to Ratho Station, Ingliston Park and Ride, Corstorphine, and The City Centre. Service 12 provides a similar service as the X12, but goes via South Gyle and Broomhouse on its way to the city centre; it then continues directly towards Leith and Seafield, Edinburgh, but is not a limited stop service. Service 400 connects Ratho to East Calder, Livingston and St. Johns Hospital in one direction and Edinburgh Royal Infirmary in the other direction.
Ratho is located close to both the M8 and the M9 motorways. The A8 and A71 run parallel to the north and the south of the village. These are two of the major roads running into Edinburgh. There is a network of paths around Ratho and the surrounding area, and you can also walk or cycle along the canal towpath.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
