Putrajaya as a new federal administrative of Malaysia has led to a further increase in private car
ownership and much higher land prices in the city centre. With jobs concentrated in the city centre, the
commuting patterns of the trip makers tend to be that of morning/evening peak hours and this has led to
congestion on some of the major highways leading into and out of the city. One possible way to reduce the use
of cars is to replace commuter trips by car with other modes of transport, such as a combination of car and
public transport called Park & Ride (P&R). The preliminary observation and survey has been carried out among
of private car users in Putrajaya. The observations of P&R users show that only two percents parking lots were
occupied from 320 parking lots were provided. A random of 50 respondents were interviewed. The findings
were discussed about the reason why the car users are refused to use P&R facilities. Analyses about relation
between factors such as bus frequency and parking fees at worksite have been made to answer research
questions. Logistic regression has been used to analyse the factors that influence users to switch their trips mode
to shift to P&R.
