Park & Ride

Guildford park and ride is the smart way to get into Guildford. Park and ride lets you park free of charge at one of four car parks – Spectrum, Artington, Merrow, and Onslow – and pay to travel into Guildford on the bus. You will need to pay the driver in cash when you get on the bus. Park and ride buses drop you off and collect you by the Friary, a handy location for both major shops and offices. Maps showing the location of the park and ride sites, and further information on bus times and fares, are available Guildford Park and Ride leaflet. Please refer to the information below for the latest information.

From Monday 2 November 2015, older person’s bus pass holders travelling on any of the Guildford Park and Ride services will be charged a reduced £1 day return fare. The introduction of this charge follows a public consultation in which over 1,600 residents had their say on the proposals.
