dc.description.abstract | The integration of public transport and car parking facilities has been greatly beneficial. The Park and Ride (P&R) facility allows users to park their private vehicles and make the rest of their journey by public transport. Hence, P&R facilitate the user’s daily parking problem and reduces traffic congestion and pollution. However, P&R can also be seen as exacerbating traffic and pollution as the attractiveness of easy parking can alter user’s habits who previously used public transport for their entire journey and shift to an increasing number of private vehicles on the road. The success of a P&R greatly relies on the effects and user satisfaction provided. The dissertation presents the use of a time and motion study to identify whether or not the reliability of the shuttle service affects the amount of users of the P&R. The data collected indicated that the shuttle service relies on the amount of users alighted and indicated that users prefer using other means to get to the P&R instead of the free shuttle service. The focus of the study was to outline the factors affecting the shuttle service of the Floriana P&R and recommending multiple alterations which can be implemented to upgrade the service and engage more users to benefit from the P&R. | en_GB |
