Шаблон:Use dmy dates Craibstone Park and Ride is a park and ride facility near Dyce, Scotland. It is one of three such facilities near the city of Aberdeen, the other two being situated at Kingswells and Bridge of Don.[1]
History
The Park and Ride was expected to open in autumn 2016, but was delayed.[2] On 30 January 2017, the route of the existing Jet 727 bus service was adjusted to serve the new Park and Ride.[3] However, in May 2017 the change was reverted.[4] On 13 June 2017, the waiting room building was opened.[5]
The number 16 bus operated by First Aberdeen served the Park and Ride until its withdrawal in 2018 due to low passenger numbers.[6]
Usage
In 2019, only one bus service called at the facility, the half-hourly number 37.[7] It has since ceased calling at the facility.[8] In 2019, a freedom of information request revealed that an average of 14 cars per day used the Park and Ride in 2017, and eight cars per day in 2018. A councillor from Aberdeen City Council cited declining bus passenger numbers across Scotland.[9]
Facilities
The Park and Ride is located at the junction between the A90 and the A96. It was built at a cost of £15.2 million and has a capacity of 996 vehicles.[9] A building contains a waiting room, toilets, bicycle lockers, and showers.[5]
