Park and Ride

What is the Park and Ride service?

In Oxford parking is limited so we encourage visitors to use the Park and Ride service.

You can travel to Oxford by car then park in secure car park and then finish your journey into the city by bus. The buses are modern and frequent.

Where are the Park and Ride car parks?

There are five Park and Ride sites around the city on Oxford's ring road.

They are:

• Pear Tree
• Water Eaton
• Thornhill
• Redbridge
• Seacourt

To find out where the Park and Ride sites are see the map below:
