Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens Accessing Cotswold Wildlife Park by public transport

[Zia]

WMZ still lists an April to September minibus running the single route of 1.5 miles on a loop. Not sure what percentage of footfall this delivers, but does seem to be the sort of service provided at seaside resorts. Not sure where zoos like Cotswold or Whipsnade would chose to run such a service from, pulling visitors as they do from huge, wide catchment areas....

Yes... to make it worth the cost you would need to tap into a waiting pool of people really.

Absolutely, and there-in lies another problem... assuming the mini-bus has a finite number of seats (14 usually) - what happens if the waiting group of people numbers 15 or more.... it easily could in main season. The potential for complaints and dissatisfaction would seem enormous, but I can only assume WMZ is able to manage this.

So what are you doing to change things? You can be part of the problem or part of the solution.

While I certainly appreciate the sentiment behind the question, it should be pointed out that the zoo with which @Andrew Swales is very closely connected has invested considerably, financially and in terms of effort, in renewable energy: wind turbines and solar panels mean that the zoo is able to not only produce its own electricity, but also provide power to the national grid.
