See Image Originally free and busy, the public car park at Dufferin Avenue (officially Dufferin Square) was converted to “pay and display” in 2013. Drivers seemed to shun it after introduction of the charge. It became free again – in the words of an official announcement (December 2013) “I am aware there is a significant, and growing, demand for Park and Ride facilities in Bangor and that the current Park and Ride site on Abbey Street is operating at capacity. I am also aware this growing demand has led to difficulties regarding parking around train halts along the railway line between Bangor and Belfast. I have subsequently concluded that the conversion of the existing Dufferin Avenue car park to a Park & Ride facility represents the best, and most immediate, solution.” See also Image The railway/bus station Image is at top left.
