In the 1990s Park & Ride services were launched with Plaxton Beaver bodied Mercedes 709D minibuses like 289 (N289PDV).
|
Sister vehicle 283 (N283PDV) seen, as was 289, jostling with other bus traffic on the Royal Parade.

This Mercedes in Royal Parade displays the original livery and fleetname style used by Citybus to good effect.
|
Service 25 was the Plymouth Discoverer and the Mercs used on the service were lettered accordingly. As can be seen the route wends its way round the Hoe and links with the Railway Station and shopping area. This is another 709D, 278 (N278PDV).
|
 In the mid 1990s the minibus was in its heyday in Plymouth and Mercedes 709D Citybus 259 (L259YOD) is seen on the busy 62A passing through Mutley Plain. |
 Newer Citybus 263 (M263HOD) is also seen in Mutley Plain, with another heading in the opposite direction. |
 Plaxton Pointer bodied Dart SLF 19 (R119OFJ) is seen alongside Beaver bodied Mercedes 709D 278 again, both on layover in Bretonside Bus Station in May 2005. |
 The ony minibuses around in July 2022 was a small fleet of Access Plymouth Dial-A-Ride Sprinters "supported by" Citybus. This Mellor bodied 513CDI is seen returning to Milehouse after its day's duty, 9422 (DK62CXO).

 Moments later sister vehicle Mercedes DK12BYJ returned to Milehouse. The bus was subsequently liveried but did not appear to acquire a fleet number. Both Sprinters have since departed and the Access service is in the hands of red painted minibuses, still supported by Citybus.
