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.

And daughters ride away on casual pillions.”
