Park and Ride

Portsmouth's 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 15 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.

During the summer months an additional park and ride bus service to Southsea is available – check the website for more information on specific dates and times.

Regular customers can benefit from cheaper fares by purchasing a smartcard.

Park and ride day return tickets cost just £4 for up to five people. Passengers can buy tickets through the First Bus app, or through the RingGo app using RingGo location code 1398. Alternatively, pay the bus driver by cash, card or contactless payment.
