park-and-ride

Suburban transit hub

A park-and-ride is a parking facility at the edge of a transit route—typically near a bus or train station—where commuters leave their cars and continue by public transportation.

The system reduces traffic and parking pressure in city centers: I take the park-and-ride into downtown.

As an adjective: park-and-ride lot, park-and-ride service.
