- hinkley 8y agoSeattle has been doing bus park and ride for decades, although they are extending the rail to one of the biggest park and ride stops and I think other rail extensions will go past several others.
- dahfizz 8y agoIs it? Maybe for busses that stay inside a city but all the "commuter" busses that go into and out of a city have parking lots. There isn't any other way to get to them.
- neivin 8y agoWe have "Park and Ride" for GO buses in Canada.
- cbhl 8y agoThe GTA is also generally leading north america in adoption of dedicated rights-of-way for buses, such as the mississauga transitway and the bus lanes for Viva. Train-like travel times, with bus-like frequency and construction times.

It's a fairly common thing for commuter transit generally in the US, not just commuter rail. > Using it for busses is a new one though. No, it's not. There's lots of Park and Ride locations in CA (and.I would assume elsewhere) that are served by bus exclusively or are at multimodal transit centers that include bus along with ferry and/or light rail.
