Is the airlink bus to Edinburgh airport cash only?
There is a convenient bus link between the city center of edinburgh and its airport. I am running out of cash, so to spare me the coins, I would prefer to pay the bus with my credit or debit card. I recall that on my way from the airport I paid cash. Can I pay with cards? Online I can only pay for a return and I need access to a printer, which I don't have. Should I just take my loss and take some cash and spare the coins for future trips or can I pay with cards on the bus or in the terminal building?

I am not 100% sure, but I think you can pay with card if you buy your ticket in one of the Lothian Buses' Travelshops. There is at least a Travelshop at Waverley station if you plan to take the bus from there.
