A Park & Ride service at Pierhead Street multi-storey car park will open to the public on Saturday (November 30) to make Christmas shopping in Cardiff an easier and more enjoyable experience for all.
FOR Cardiff & Cardiff Council have worked together to put the plans in place and are encouraging anyone travelling by car into the city to go Christmas shopping to use the facility, as a convenient alternative to driving into the city centre.
Starting this Saturday, the service will run for four weeks and will operate from 9.30am until 5.30pm, every Saturday and Sunday.
Emily Cotterill, Associate Director at FOR Cardiff said:
“The start of the festive period marks a busy and exciting time for Cardiff as a major shopping destination. We want as many people as possible to use the park and ride service to make Christmas shopping enjoyable for everyone while relieving road congestion and pressure on often oversubscribed car parks in the city centre.”
“It couldn’t be easier, park your car at the Pierhead multi-storey car park, behind the Wales Millennium Centre, and pay for your parking at the standard rate on arrival. You’ll then be given a token to take the bus into the city centre and back and directed to the stop outside the Millennium Centre. The Park and Ride service will drop you off at Canal Street, near John Lewis and the Marriott hotel.”
