Park & Ride

Bath is now operating a Clean Air Zone in the centre of the city. While private cars are not charged in the zone - and you may be able to apply for an exemption or discount if you’re travelling in certain motorcaravans - we strongly encourage all visitors travelling by car to consider using Park & Ride services. 

The city has three Park & Ride services, which operate seven days a week. Buses run into the city from all three Park and Ride sites at least every 15 minutes, with a journey time of just 10 minutes. All buses are fully accessible for wheelchair users and pushchairs. 

Please note that all of Bath's Park & Ride services are extending their hours of operation to 11:30pm on a trial basis every Monday-Saturday between 7 April 2025 and 31 August 2025. 

You can view a live update of the spaces that are currently available at Bath's main car parks, including the three Park & Ride sites.
