 Filenews 9 September 2020

The "park & ride" system will be implemented from next week by the Limassol Municipality, in cooperation with the Limassol Passenger Transport Company (EMEL), to serve mainly as long as they work or attend the city center.

Today, Limassol mayor Nikos Nikolaidis met with the management of EMEL, where it was agreed to implement the "park & ride", which will allow those who wish to park their vehicles free of charge in a predetermined municipal parking lot, near Leontio Street (outdoor popular market) and board a minibus that will take them to the city center.

As Mr. Nikolaidis said, the system will operate from Monday to Friday, and citizens will be transported to the city center for a fee of 75 cents for a one-way trip and €1.50 return. More details on timetables, which will be every 15 to 20 minutes, will be announced next week, he added.

The Mayor of Limassol expressed his confidence that the implementation of the "park & ride" would serve many citizens and students who had criticized the installation of a system of controlled use of the large municipal parking lot of Themistokleous Street, in the center of the city.
