\u201cWe\u2019re proud to offer an environmentally friendly, sustainable transport option for rugby fans to get right to the gates of Hive Stadium, and the partnership with Edinburgh Rugby benefits our colleagues and customers alike.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year, we\u2019re encouraging more people to Try the tram to Hive Stadium to see the team in action throughout the season, and we\u2019ll be selling tickets in the stadium itself to make it easier than ever to glide home after the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
