Coventry Park and Ride is a park and ride system, operated by two different operators under contract to Coventry City Council and Centro, in the English city of Coventry.^[1] Designed to relieve traffic congestion from the city centre, and to provide a more affordable alternative to city centre parking, users can park their car for free in secure car parks and only have to pay the return bus fare in and out of the city centre. The system is branded separately for the two different sites, whereby the southern one at War Memorial Park is known as Park and Ride South, and the northern one at Courthouse Green, is known as Park and Ride North. Both services are operated under contract, the southern by Travel de Courcey and the northern by Central Connect. However Centro and Coventry City Council are jointly responsible for the marketing, and set the fares for both services.
