‘Park & Ride’ car parks represent one of the most ambitious mobility projects being implemented in Chișinău. It involves the creation of a comprehensive infrastructure, including modern public transport stops, lighting and green spaces, as well as the conditions necessary for people’s comfort and safety.

During the project presentation, which took place today in the capital, experts noted that, thanks to the ‘Park & Ride’ facilities, people travelling daily from the suburbs and other towns will be able to leave their cars at the city’s entrance and travel by public transport.

‘Park & Ride’ car parks will ease traffic congestion

“In this way, we will reduce the number of cars entering the capital every day, as well as traffic jams and the time spent in them,” emphasised the capital’s mayor, Ion Ceban.

Under the scheme, the routes of a number of buses will be altered, new routes will be introduced, and the public transport fleet will be expanded by a further 50 vehicles to provide connections with the suburbs.

The City Council is building park-and-ride facilities in all districts of the city. Specifically, in the Cocana sector, on Vadul-lui-Vodă Street – with 500 spaces; in the Buiucani sector, on Codrilor Street – with 250 spaces; and on Gidigich Street – with 240 spaces. In the Rîșcani sector, on Orhei Highway, there will be 178 spaces. In the Centre sector, on Hîncești Highway, there will be around 250 parking spaces. In the Botanica sector, near the Botanical Gardens, the construction of a car park is also planned. The project is currently being developed.

In addition, work is underway to identify sites and develop two further car parks to redistribute traffic flow in the Botanica area: at the junction of Dacia Boulevard and Valia Cruci Street, and near the Zoological Garden.
