什么是"P+R"停车场?

大多数人或许都习惯了停车场门口大写“P”的标志。不过最近，生活在上海的朋友们可能会看到“P+R”停车的标志。这代表的是什么呢？

“P+R”其实就是“Park and Ride”（泊车+换乘），表示“停车换乘”的意思。我们来看这个解释：

Park and Ride:  car parks with connections to public transport that allow commuters and others wishing to travel into city centres to leave their personal vehicles in a car park and transfer to a bus, rail system (rapid transit, light rail or commuter rail), or carpool for the rest of their trip. The vehicle is stored in the car park during the day and retrieved when the commuter returns. Park and rides are generally located in the suburbs of metropolitan areas or on the outer edges of large cities.

“P+R”其实大意是指，开自驾车的人士，将车停在城郊结合部的交通枢纽附近，转乘轨道交通到市中心。它促成了公交出行与小汽车交通方式的衔接。总的来说，是一种较为成熟的交通换乘系统，不但能减缓城内交通压力，为个人出行节约时间，而且还能减少大气污染，节约能源。同时，“park and ride”也可以叫做“incentive parking”。 

此次在上海开放的“P+R”试点，实施驾车人持公共交通卡刷卡进入P+R专用停车场（库），并用该卡换乘轨道交通，即可享受停车费用优惠的措施。试行收费标准为在换乘服务时段内按次收费，每次10元。

这项举措对于去市中心尤其人民广场一带的自驾上班族，其实还是很划算的。
