Xplore Dundee is encouraging all kinds of travellers to take the bus this Saturday (28^th July) ahead of the latest concert at Slessor Gardens.

A number of key routes around the city centre will be diverted due to the closure of Shore Terrace for the Rita Ora gig, which is also likely to cause significant traffic build up. 

The bus operator is urging anyone heading into the city centre on Saturday to avoid parking and car queues by jumping on the bus. 

Xplore Dundee Managing Director Christine McGlasson said: “We are urging everyone attending the concert to take the bus as this will be the quickest and easiest way to travel into the city centre and get home again after the party. 

“But if you’re commuting to work or planning a shopping trip it’s also a good idea to use our services – the fewer cars on the road on Saturday, the less traffic will build up and we’ll all get to where we need to be a lot quicker!”

Changes to bus services on Saturday will come into effect from 14:45:

• Services 5 | 9/9a will run via the Hawkhill (instead of the Perth Road) towards Ninewells Hospital; in their place, a shuttle service 5 will run from the Nethergate to Perth Road (as far as Windsor Street), where passengers can transfer for onward travel towards Ninewells. Services 5 | 10/10a will continue to serve the Perth Road when travelling towards the City Centre
• Service 17 will run via the Hawkhill (instead of the Perth Road) in both directions. This is to minimise late-running and the knock-on effect to service 15
• Service 22 (towards Craigowl) will stop on Ward Road at the former Post Office, instead of at Albert Square
