Would be nice to be able to get a direct bus from brislington park and ride,save me arriving two hours before ko just to try and find somewhere to park down lower ashley rd. The number 17 keynsham - southmead hospital bus goes up Muller rd, but it takes bloody ages....

Fair play to the club for trying the initiative, but I think it will be a very narrow band of people it will appeal to due to price I drive with my 2 sons and there is plenty of off street parking within a 10 minute walk. If you fancied getting the coach because you fancied having a couple of beers the coach doesn’t get there till 2 so not much time to enjoy a few beers.

I do believe its illegal to drink on all buses these days.... I think bans on alcohol consumption on football buses was introduced as early as the late 80's....

I assumed Glengas was referring to having a couple of beers at the ground not on the bus? Although not sure every one who watches Rovers as to drink alcohol, I'd have thought it is in fact a small percentage.

Yes, I was on about having a drink before the game at the ground and seeing how packed the bars/civil service club are before kick off I would say quite a few people enjoy a few pints and some might be tempted to catch a bus to the game. Personally, with plenty of off street parking and the price of the coaches I can’t see it being a big seller unless you are coming from quite a way out.

I've shared the 17 many a time with lots of drinking gas heads on match days! It is a bit of a water take route though but luckily I catch it from the top of Fishponds so it's got all the silly bugger miles out the way.
Getting it the other way with I visit my nan in Keynsham on the other hand... I usually have to book a few days off of work each way 😅

Been looking at this. Price of a day rider ticket is £5 or £4.50 if you use the first bus app. Not sure it will catch on for Bristol based supporters. There’s a good bus service up Gloucester Road for at least 6 buses. Be interesting to see how many supporters are keen on this new idea.

I'm often on the 75/76 from the dark side that runs along that route. £5 is pretty steep to the Mem and back I think. I've just started using the Yo bikes instead for a quid and a bit of hard work I can get to the Mem quicker than the bus. I don't know how long that will last with the weather turning. May have to get the app installed to get that 50p discount.

£4.50 from Stafford sounds good to me.
