===Buses===
Until [[Bus deregulation in Great Britain|deregulation]] in 1986, bus services in Brighton were provided by [[Southdown Motor Services]] and Brighton Borough Transport under a joint arrangement called ''Brighton Area Transport Services''. Southdown were part of the nationalised [[National Bus Company (UK)|NBC]] group and were based at Freshfield Road in the [[Kemptown, Brighton|Kemptown]] area; Brighton Borough Transport were owned by the council and used the former tram depot at Lewes Road as their headquarters. Joint tickets were available and revenue was shared.<ref name="BBRH48+50">{{Harvnb|Brighton Borough Council|1985|pp=48, 50.}}</ref> The [[Brighton & Hove (bus company)|Brighton & Hove Bus Company]], owned by the [[Go-Ahead Group]] since 1993, now runs most bus services in Brighton.

The only [[park and ride]] facility in Brighton is based at the [[Withdean Stadium]]. It does not offer a dedicated shuttle bus service: intending passengers must join the Brighton & Hove Bus Company's route 27 service to [[Saltdean]]—which travels via Brighton railway station, the [[Clock Tower, Brighton|Clock Tower]] and [[Old Steine]]—and pay standard fares.<ref name="BHCC-P&R">{{cite web |url=http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/content/parking-and-travel/travel-transport-and-road-safety/park-ride-1 |title=Park & Ride |year=2013 |publisher=Brighton & Hove City Council |access-date=23 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130623194930/http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/content/parking-and-travel/travel-transport-and-road-safety/park-ride-1 |archive-date=23 June 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The 20-year City Plan released in January 2013 ruled out an official park-and-ride facility, stating it would be an "inefficient use of public money, particularly in an era of declining car use". Councillors and residents in [[Woodingdean]] and [[Rottingdean]] have claimed that streets and car parks in those areas have become unofficial park-and-ride sites: drivers park for free and take buses into the city centre.<ref name="Argus-10593091">{{cite news |url=http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/10593091.Woodingdean_being_turned_into_unofficial__park_and_ride__claim_residents/ |title=Woodingdean being turned into unofficial 'park and ride' claim residents |last=Ridgway |first=Tim |date=6 August 2013 |work=[[The Argus (Brighton)|The Argus]] |access-date=23 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224102543/http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/10593091.Woodingdean_being_turned_into_unofficial__park_and_ride__claim_residents/ |archive-date=24 December 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref>
