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.

Famous quotes containing the words park and/or ride:
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
