The South-East Scotland Transport Partnership (branded SEStran) is a statutory regional transport partnership in Scotland.
History Sestran was created on 28th March 1998 to identify, develop, and implement mutually beneficial solutions to transportation-related issues across multiple council areas.https://timetableworld.com/ttw-viewer.php?token=94dc279b-1472-4fa3-a79d-42e205d3753e
SEStran implemented integrated ticketing under a scheme known as One-Ticket in 2001.
On 1 December 2005, SEStran was revised to match the new 7 Scottish government regional transport partnerships. This resulted in Stirling council being moved into the new Tactran area.
SEStran launched a real time passenger information (RTPI) system in 2014.
Operating area SEStran covers most of South East and Central Scotland, and includes the following local authorities: Fife East Lothian Midlothian West Lothian Edinburgh Scottish Borders Falkirk Clackmannanshire

Functions SESTRAN is an independent organisation that is tasked with improving local transport in the South East of Scotland. It is governed by a joint board, where around two-thirds of members are local councillors from affiliated councils, with the remainder made up of business and industry professionals. It was first tasked with producing a regional development strategy and delivery plan to set out what projects would be delivered, such as improving park and ride sites and real-time information displays on Edinburgh's bus network.
SEStran is responsible for operating ferry services.
