From 17 August 2026, get a £3 combined ticket which covers return bus travel into Oxford and back for up to five people of any age and up to 16 hours' parking at Oxford's Park and Ride sites.

The discounted combined parking and travel ticket must be purchased at the Park and Ride site or on the RingGo app and will be valid on any Stagecoach, Oxford Bus Company, or Thames Travel bus that stops within a Park and Ride site, not just named Park and Ride services.

Show the bus driver your parking ticket or an active RingGo session on your phone as you board. You won’t be issued a bus ticket. You just need to show the same thing on your way back.
