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 is free, all you pay for is the bus ticket, and each site provides hundreds of car parking spaces. Services can operate as frequently as every 12 minutes.
