Map of Park and Ride services in York

All routes run at least every 10 minutes, 7 days a week. The last bus from York is at about 8pm (6pm on Sundays)

With the exception of the 7 (Red Line), Park & Ride routes run an express service, calling at only one or two stops between the car park and the city centre. The 7 (Red Line) calls at all stops along the route.

A day return ticket costs £2.70. Up to 2 children (under 16) can travel free with every fare-paying adult. National Bus Passes are accepted on Park & Ride subject to usual time restrictions, but when boarding at the Park & Ride site there is a single fare of 80p (this does not apply when boarding at any other stop).

For frequent users, smartcards are available from all Park & Ride offices, which can either be set to give unlimited travel for a week (£10.80), a month (£43.20) or a year (£432), or a stored value card (which works like Oyster pay as you go) that charges you £2.40 per journey, with a minimum top-up of £5. There is a refundable depoist of £5 on all smartcards.

Parking is not allowed overnight at any of the Park & Ride sites, and many of the car parks are locked after the last bus.
