The £10 million Halbeath Park and Ride is well on the road to success, six months after it opened.
Both bus operator Stagecoach and Fife Council said the venture, just off the M90, was being well used.
Stagecoach East Scotland managing director Andrew Jarvis said: “We’re pleased with the use of Halbeath Park and Ride so far as the usage figures are progressing at a similar rate as occurred at Ferrytoll when it first opened.”
Fife Council transport spokesman Pat Callaghan revealed an average of 300 vehicles a day are using the facility, more than in the first six months at Ferrytoll, just north of the Forth Road Bridge.
“Halbeath Park and Ride has brought great benefits to Fife’s travellers and commuters,” he said.
“In the six months since it opened, we are averaging 300 vehicles a day.
“This compares favourably with Ferrytoll, which averaged 200 vehicles after six months of its opening.”
Mr Callaghan said there has been a small movement of users from Ferrytoll to Halbeath but the combined usage of both has increased.
“Passenger feedback from the site has been very positive, with many commenting on the quality of the facilities,” he added.
Mr Jarvis agreed, saying the number of people connecting to Stagecoach’s services at this site was promising.
That was particularly true of the Glasgow Express routes which have increased by about 15%.
“Since the launch we’ve extended the staff supervised and waiting room opening times and overall the facilities have been praised,” he said.
“Of course there is still room for improvement, we’re constantly monitoring our services for any required timetable revisions and we’ll continue to promote both park and ride sites to encourage more people to use our luxury coach network, as well as local connecting journeys.”
