UK bus-based Park and Ride (P&R) has increased significantly in popularity over the
past 40 years although there are doubts over its role in reducing car use. This paper
presents the findings from interviews with eight key stakeholders involved in UK
P&R, which sought to provide insights into the popularity of P&R, particularly at the
local government level, its success, and how the concept of P&R can be developed in
the future to improve its role in reducing car use whilst maintaining its popularity. It is
suggested that there are a range of goals for the use of P&R which extend beyond
traffic reduction. It is discussed how there may be potential to develop the concept,
particularly by decentralising P&R sites and developing their role as interchanges for
public transport.
