[sustran] Re: Is park-and-ride a bad idea for Asian cities?

Dear all

Greetings!!


The discussion on the issue is very useful and lots of pros and cons. Though
I have followed the details regularly, I am not really sure, whether this
point has been addressed.

In Hyderabad, many retail outlets in the neighbourhood of railway stations
(Local Trains Stations) do not any parking and hence use the spacious
parking facilities of the station to park their cars and also get their
customers cars parked. In Hyderabad, there is a strange system of valet
parking of cars. No one has a clue as to whether this system is approved by
the municipal authorities or not. When asked, the authorities feign
ignorance about such a thing as valet parking.
