Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present possible activities, also within the scope of town planning, which can be undertaken to augment the integration of Park and Ride car parks with municipal public transport system. A well functioning system can influence a change of drivers’ transportation habits and induce some of them to resign from using passenger vehicles for the benefit of public transport means. The article presents factors with regard to: infrastructure, suprastructure, organisation, the formation of transport offer, ticket price-lists, a possibility of alternative access to city centres with the use of the system of bicycle hiring establishments, the functioning of passenger information system, examples of financial incentives for drivers limiting the use of passenger vehicles for the benefit of public transport, etc.
