Park and Ride

Park and Ride facilities offer free and easy parking, and have frequent and fast public transport connections to the city centre.

There are Park and Ride sites at several locations near and in Edinburgh, serving travellers from all directions.

All sites operate 24/7, except where noted.

Park and Ride sites usually provide:

  • secure and free car parking - you only pay for your transport fare
  • terminal building with CCTV and toilet facilities
  • use of bus only 'greenways' into Edinburgh City Centre, helping to reduce journey times
