Park and Ride
Ipswich Buses operated the Ipswich park and ride system under contract to Suffolk County Council from 1997. The service is Charter Marked.
Latterly it operated the service in an allover purple livery with unnamed single and double-deck buses, branded Ipswich Park & Ride with a bird logo, and the strapline Fly into town.
On 1 November 2008 the operations passed to First Eastern Counties, after Ipswich Buses lost the contract, at a cost of £300,000 to their bottom line.

“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
“I saw him beat the surges under him,
And ride upon their backs. He trod the water,
Whose enmity he flung aside, and breasted
The surge most swoll’n that met him.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
