First Bus is giving away free tickets this week to customers who use the new Yate Park and Ride. The bus provider is offering free travel to encourage people to make the most of the £4.5million site after it was slammed as a 'waste of time and money' by locals.
Pictures taken today (Friday, May 20) show only a handful of cars at the site after it was criticised for offering nothing more than just a car park. The transport hub is served by the Y1, Y4 and Y6, and no longer the Y2 after it was axed last month.
First Bus says that between Monday, May 23 and Friday, May 27 the first 50 customers travelling between 6.45am and 9am each day from the site on Badminton Road can get a free West of England Day ticket, which would otherwise cost £7.50, as well as a voucher for 20 percent off another day ticket for future trips.
