Abstract

This thesis focused on the factors that influence the situation of bus-based P&R facilities. Therefore, all bus-based P&Rs in the Netherlands were examined with the aim of ultimately determining which factors influence this situation and which factors are therefore necessary to achieve bus-based P&R success. This research used a mixed method, combining desk research with a quantitative survey and a qualitative multiple case study. Prior to this case study, experts from 16 different municipalities were asked to assess 30 Dutch bus-based facilities, based on the established evaluation criteria. From these survey results, eight intriguing cases were selected that were further investigated using an inductive coding method, to ultimately determine the most important factors that influence the situation of Dutch bus-based P&Rs. Ultimately, it could be concluded that the situation of Dutch bus-based P&R facilities mainly depends on three factors, all of which can be classified as ‘features of the destination’. This concerns the accessibility, parking capacity and parking costs of the city centre. These three preconditions must therefore be met to create a positive bus-based P&R situation.
