Route 13 is a bus route in Aberdeen operated by First Aberdeen. It operates at a 20 minute frequency at peak times. [1]

History

In January 2016, branded Platinum buses were deployed on the route. They were the first in Aberdeen to include USB chargers. [2] [1]

On 3 July 2022, the route was altered to use Links Road instead of Park Street and to call at the Beach Retail Park, following the rerouting of route 15. [3] [4] The route was also extended during evenings and weekends to terminate at Hillhead of Seaton. [5]

From 6 November 2022, a diversion to Footdee was added for four journeys in each direction on a six month trial basis. [6] [7] Footdee had been left with no bus service following the rerouting of service 15 in July.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Articulated buses in the United Kingdom</span>

Articulated buses, colloquially known as "bendy buses", were rarely used in the United Kingdom compared to other countries, until the turn of the millennium. This was due to a preference for the double-decker bus for use on high capacity routes. In June 2006, there were over 500 articulated buses in the United Kingdom, although they were still heavily outnumbered by double deckers. The majority of this fleet was used in London, although these buses would be withdrawn by end of 2011.
