The Bristol Park & Ride is a park & ride system operated by Bristol City Council in the English city of Bristol.
Until 2011, the park & ride routes were operated by First Bristol and Wessex Bus. On 5 September 2011, route 904 was taken over by CT Plus using ex First London, London Central and London General Mercedes-Benz Citaro O530Gs with route 903 passing from Wessex to First.
On 2 April 2012, CT Plus took over the operation of route 902. In April 2014, route 505 was extended to Long Ashton to become a park & ride route 901 commenced in September 2014.
The existing contracts expire in September 2016, with options to extend for a further three years.

Around 600,000 journeys are made each year. There has been significant, and increasing, investment in the scheme by Bristol City Council.
The council consider that this facility has reduced city centre congestion.
