Bonnie Gives Edinburgh Her Seal of Approval

Glasgow 2018 mascot travelled east with Glasgow Taxis

Glasgow Taxis teamed up with Edinburgh counterparts Central Taxis to give Bonnie the seal a guided tour as the Glasgow 2018 mascot headed to the capital to promote the diving competition taking place as part of this year’s European Championships.

International aquatic stars will make a splash across seven days of competition at Edinburgh’s Royal Commonwealth Pool.

Bonnie enjoyed some of the capital’s sights during her trip – taking in the Scott Monument, Princes Street Gardens and Edinburgh Castle – as she demonstrated how easy it will be for sports fans to travel between Scotland’s two major cities this summer.

Glasgow Taxis’ 800-strong fleet will be the first port of call for passengers in the west, while Central Taxis will be on hand 24 hours a day to serve visitors in the capital.

Speaking on behalf of the Glasgow Taxis Ltd. executive committee, chairman Stephen Flynn said: “The Glasgow 2018 European Championships provides Scotland with another great opportunity to host a world class sporting event and Glasgow Taxis are proud to get behind it.

“The journey to Edinburgh takes a little more than an hour by taxi making it accessible for sporting fans from the west.”

Tony Kenmuir, chairman of Central Taxis, said: “Travelling between Scotland’s two major cities has never been easier and by offering affordable travel to the public hopefully we can encourage a great turn out at this summer’s European Championships, both in Edinburgh and in Glasgow.”
