N2  - Samples of drivers and walkers are examined to understand factors influencing the decision to walk. The driver sample was limited to those who lived within 1 km of the park-and-ride facility to avoid confounds such as car dependency and travel distance. These drivers exhibit a break in car dependency because they use public transport. A 62-item survey examines ten main factors: fear of crime; trip-chaining; weather; distance/time; social pressure; fatigue and fitness; parking charges; enjoyment of walking; inconvenience; and geography. Results show the convenience of a car park induces park-and-ride demand. Weather influences decisions to walk. However, walking is not impeded by factors such as distance, fear of crime, carriage of goods or concern for time.<p />
