York
York has an excellent network of Park & Ride services, run by First York:
- 2 (Green Line): Rawcliffe Bar (junction of A19 and A1237) - Clifton Green - Railway Museum - Station Gardens - Museum Street
- 3 (White Line): Askham Bar (A1036 to the west, near A64) - Blossom Street - Station - Rougier Street - Tower Street
- 7 (Red Line): Designer Outlet (junction of A19 and A64) - Fulford - Fishergate - Clifford Street - Rougier Street - Station
- 8 (Yellow Line): Grimston Bar (A1079 to the east, near A64) - Hull Road - Morrisons - Peasholme Green - Piccadilly
- 9 (Silver Line): Monks Cross (A1036 to the east, near A64) - Heworth Road - Stonebow - Rougier Street
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 £2.30. 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.
For frequent users, smartcards are available from all Park & Ride offices, which can either be set to give unlimited travel for a week (£9.20) or a month (£34.50), or a stored value card (which works like Oyster pay as you go) that charges you £2.05 per journey, with a minimum top-up of £5. There is a refundable depoist of £4 on all smartcards.
Parking is not allowed overnight at any of the Park & Ride sites, and the car parks are locked after the last bus.
There are plans to develop new Park & Ride sites on the A59 to the west and the B1363 to the north, and to replace the Askham Bar site with a larger car park nearer the A64.
