Comment A fine studio portrait of a Kirkcaldy Corporation Tramways crew (see link) clearly shows that the buttons were plain with a scalloped rim; it is, however, currently unknown whether the material used was brass or nickel.

Kirkcaldy Corporation never ran its own buses (or trolleybuses), instead reaching agreement with W. Alexander and Sons of Falkirk (a subsidiary of the Scottish General Motor Traction Company) to close the tramway and for the company to largely be given free rein to provide motorbus services in the burgh.
