Park and Ride

Please note, the Park & Ride service is currently closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. See the website for updates on re-opening.

Portsmouth's state-of-the-art Park & Ride service offers commuters and visitors to the city a quick, easy and cheap way into Portsmouth. It is conveniently located on the M275, Junction 1, and is open daily.

Buses run every 10 minutes at peak times, with request stops including the City Centre, Portsmouth University and The Hard Interchange. The hop-on, hop-off nature of the service also means passengers can travel between stops.

Regular customers can benefit from cheaper fares by purchasing a Commuter or Visitor Pass.

PR2

Park & Ride also now operates PR2, covering routes into the City Centre, Portsmouth & Southsea railway station, and the University of Portsmouth.

PR2 buses leave the Park & Ride car park every half hour between 7am and 7.30pm. Travel time to the city centre is 8 minutes, and to the University of Portsmouth is 12 minutes.

The Park & Ride site is open:
6:30am - 8pm Monday - Friday
7.30am - 8pm Saturdays
8:30am - 6:45pm Sundays

Services run year round, except Christmas Day and New Year's Day. No overnight parking is permitted.
