There are 18 Park and Ride (P+R) car parks on the outskirts that are linked to public transport - amounting to 3300 spaces in total for an urban area with almost 480,000 inhabitants (Source OFS). Two P+R are also Park & Bike ( Etoile and Geneve Plage). The idea of Park and Ride (Parking-Relais, in France) " is to provide a car park on the outskirts of a town and to encourage motorists to use public transport to access the town centre."
