With Park & Ride services, customers can enjoy free parking, free WIFI and frequent services to and from York.
Late night Park & Ride services are offered every Friday evening and, indeed, every evening on some services.
So, whether you’re shopping, eating, socialising or working in the city centre, you can now do it for longer.
Managing director for First York Marc Bichtemann said:
-
We will be continuing to invest in this service and are pleased to confirm that 21 new electric double decker buses will be introduced onto York Park & Ride services this year.
In addition to this, we will be upgrading the remainder of the Park & Ride fleet with low-emission technology, audio-visual announcements and the provision of USB sockets.
