*Parking charges
Initially, it will be free to park at the park and ride site all day. Parking charges will be introduced later at £2.60 a day.
You will be able to continue to park for free if you meet one of the following usages:
• If you take an onward bus service.
• If you’ve parked an Electric Vehicle in a charging bay and are charging.
• If you’ve parked in a disabled person’s parking place and are displaying a valid disabled person’s badge.
Living roofs
Yate Park & Ride is the first location in the West of England where ‘living roofs’ have been installed on all three new bus stops. The green roofs require minimum maintenance, absorb carbon and help to support dwindling populations of bees, butterflies and pollinating insects.
