Advance information Park & Ride Fare Increase - 6th April 2008

Dear All

I wanted to let you know that from Sunday 6th April 2008 the Park & Ride 
return fare will be increasing to £2.20 (it is currently £2). In addition 
the Babraham to Addenbrookes fare will be increasing to £1.70 (it is 
currently £1.50).

However the Park & Ride weekly ticket, which allows 7 consecutive days 
unlimited travel on Park & Ride services, will be remaining at £9 offering 
customers great value for money.

As you are no doubt aware Park & Ride fares have not increased since April 
2006 but with the service facing significantly higher operational costs due 
to the rising cost of fuel, the increase in fares on the return tickets has
become necessary. A press release regarding the fare changes will be issued 
shortly ensuring people are given sufficient notice ahead of the Easter 
holiday period.

As a service Park & Ride has delivered considerable benefits to its 
customers over the last year with the arrival of a new fleet of buses and 
the installation of off-bus ticket machines at all of our sites (with the 
exception of Cowley where ticket machines will be installed later this year 
as the site is relocated to a new site near Milton).
