"The VIBES Transport Award is open to businesses in any sector in Scotland. I'd encourage businesses in Scotland that have made a real effort to reduce the amount of carbon emissions from our transport infrastructure to apply."
A Lothian Buses spokesman said: "In line with good corporate governance, Mr Craig’s salary and benefits for the role of chief executive have been determined by the Lothian Buses remuneration committee, and benchmarked against similar commercial organisations operating in similar sectors both in Scotland and the UK. Any changes to his pay will be disclosed in the company’s annual remuneration report."
"We are so proud of everything he has achieved and it’s just been a delight to see him pick up his award today. It makes it even more special that it was voted for by members of the public."
