The Ipswich Park & Ride service is no longer part of the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme and therefore free travel is no longer available on these services.  Single fare tickets are also no longer available for the Park & Ride services.

Suffolk County Council recognises that the Park and Ride services are an important part of the sustainable transport network for Ipswich. Therefore, holders of a Free Travel Bus Pass will be able to buy a £1.50 return group ticket for the Park and Ride service for use after 9.30am on Monday to Fridays and at any time at weekends and Bank Holidays. Travel will be available at other times by paying the standard fare for the journey.
