Kuwait City: Alia Al Farsi, a member of the Kuwait Municipality, introduced a new system to reduce traffic congestion on the country's roads. He has put forward a new concept of 'Park and Ride' project for mass transport. Drivers can park their cars at designated spots and then use buses to take them to their destinations, he said.


This project will improve the public transport system and road traffic. And environmental pollution can be reduced. The proposal also states that the plan is in line with the country's future vision of making Kuwait a financial hub. 

The project includes multi-storey parking lots and dedicated parking lots for high-end buses. In the first phase, it can be implemented in Khaldiya, Adailiya, Jabriya, South Sabahiya, West Abu Fatira and Jahra. According to his idea, 80 percent of the space can be prepared for car parking and 15 percent for bus parking.
