In this paper the potentials of parking-and-transfer facilities are investigated. Parking-and-transfer facilities offer car drivers the possibility for parking their car outside the city centre and continuing their trip into the city centre by bus or bike. By means of a stated choice approach the part-worth utilities of attributes were determined. The attributes were related to characteristics of the parking facility, of the bus, and of the bike. The research was conducted in the Dutch city of Nijmegen. It turned out that the `continue by bike' option is not very likely to be chosen. For the `continue by bus' option, choice probabilities are reasonable, if price of parking and bus are low and waiting time for the bus is low as well. (A)
