People drive to the Park & Ride lot in the morning, park their car and transfer to a transit to get to work. Park & Ride lots are not restricted to car to transit transfers - they also serve as meeting points for carpools and vanpools and accommodate walk-in or bike-in trips. Lots such as this function more as transit hubs. With the addition of services such as daycare, banks, or markets, Park & Ride lots can free users from the need to make additional errand trips before or after work.
