Park and ride: Difference between revisions

A '''park and ride''', also known as '''incentive parking''' or a '''commuter lot''', is a [[parking lot]] with [[public transport]] connections that allows [[commuting|commuters]] and other people heading to [[city centre]]s to leave their vehicles and transfer to a [[bus]], [[Rail transport|rail]] system ([[rapid transit]], [[light rail]], or [[commuter rail]]), or [[carpool]] for the remainder of the journey. The vehicle is left in the parking lot during the day and retrieved when the owner returns. Park and rides are generally located in the [[suburb]]s of [[metropolitan area]]s or on the outer edges of large cities. A park and ride that only offers parking for meeting a carpool and not connections to public transport may be called a '''park and pool'''.<ref>{{cite web |title=DART First State Park & Ride/Park & Pool Lots |publisher=DART First State |url=httphttps://www.dartfirststate.com/informationRiderInfo/getting_therepark-and-ride/parkridepdfs/pnr_current.pdf?050515 050820|access-date=December 21, 2016}}</ref>
