COMMUTERS between Edinburgh and Glasgow will get more than a coach trip to work from this month as Scotmid and Citylink play their part in improving Scotland's health.
Scotmid has joined forces with the coach operator to provide passengers on Citylink's busiest route with free fruit and healthy snacks.
The project is being piloted on a three-month basis and if successful could be made permanent. It will trial on Edinburgh to Glasgow and Glasgow to Edinburgh Monday morning services, which carry over 20,000 customers a week
Colin Bird, Chief Executive, Scotmid, said: "We are committed to supporting initiatives in our communities which promote a healthy lifestyle. This project will ensure that Citylink passengers start their day the right way with something nutritious and filling."
Ross Kerr is project leader of the `Wise Food Initiative` which is encouraging convenience retailers to enhance their `Healthy Living` offerings to consumer and is jointly sponsored by convenience retailers and the Scottish Executive.
He said: `Scotmid is one of the partners in the Healthy Living project and this promotion of giving away healthy foods with Citylink is a great example of how Scotmid are investing to help encourage people to think `healthier` and develop the healthy option habit each day.`
