In suburban corridors of large metropolitan areas, it is usually impossible to offer bus services on a network which can directly serve the residential districts of all commuters. Since the majority of commuters who wish to use such bus service are forced to drive to the bus stops, park-and-ride lots have been built, especially at the stops which serve large 'market sheds'. These same lots may also be used by commuters who leave their cars there to join carpools, vanpools, and subscription buses; in some situations they have also become sites where waiting passengers are offered rides by solo drivers who wish to qualify for use of HOV facilities. The study concentrates on the use of these lots by bus commuters, who were surveyed at eleven lots in the San Francisco Bay Area and at four in the Los Angeles area.
