Park & Ride

A convenient, cheap and easy alternative to driving into the centre of Bath or Bristol.

You can park your car and ride a bus in comfort to your destination. Parking for the day is free at most sites and each provides hundreds of car parking spaces. Services can operate as frequently as every 12-15 minutes. The sites all lie outside the Bath and Bristol clean air zones so you can avoid the charges by parking & riding.
