York Park & Ride

Discover where the Park & Ride could take you this halloween!

York is a city steeped in over 2,000 years of history and culture. There are more attractions per square mile than anywhere else in the UK making it a great place for a day out, and getting into the most haunted city in Europe couldn't be simpler than with the all-electric Park & Ride. 

City centre parking can be frighteningly expensive, so why not park your broomstick (or car) for free at one of the 6 easy-to-reach sites around York? It's not scary when you catch a zero-emissions electric bus and let someone else do the driving. With prioritised traffic lights and dedicated bus lanes, York Park & Ride can get you in and out of the city quickly and run as frequently as every 12 minutes so you can cram in more tricks and treats!
