Park and ride (P&R) schemes are often promoted as an efficient means of extending the effective catchment of public transport networks into car-dependent areas with low population densities, such as rural districts. However, using P&R typically requi... Read More about Social inclusion implications of park-and-ride.

The rate of provision of bus-based park and ride facilities on the fringes of UK urban areas has grown in recent years. However, there has been a debate about whether the schemes reduce traffic. Research published in 1998 for the UK Government consid... Read More about Influence of bus-based park and ride facilities on users' car traffic.

A longer-range strategy for car-bus interchange: The 'link-and-ride' concept (2000)
Journal Article
Parkhurst, G. (2000). A longer-range strategy for car-bus interchange: The 'link-and-ride' concept. Traffic Engineering and Control, 41(8), 319-324

It is widely acknowledged that there can be disadvantages due to bus-based park and ride schemes constructed at the edge of the urban area as well as benefits. The present paper considers how these disbenefits might be reduced. In the main it is argu... Read More about A longer-range strategy for car-bus interchange: The 'link-and-ride' concept.
