Lothian Buses recently announced that they would be making widespread changes to their Edinburgh bus timetable, with the number 6 bus (which serves Dumbiedykes) and the N7 amongst those affected - they will be axed as of 29 March.
Other Lothian Buses routes and services will also either stop running or see their route and timetable change.
Some of the travel changes have been met with complaints from locals. The Dumbiedykes Residents Association are holding a 'save our bus' public meeting on 10 March.
A spokesperson said: "Without consultation publicly owned Lothian Buses has left our community without a bus, abandoning the most vulnerable citizens. To access basic services like doctors, dentist, chemist, post office residents have to leave Dumbiedykes. Following previous Council cuts even the community shop is shut. Without a bus anyone with mobility issues is left isolated."
The meeting is taking place at 6pm in the Braidwood Centre.
