I have used the park and ride schemes in Oxford, York and Durham, and they worked well for me, a relatively fit and healthy person. If Bristol council is not going to find mass revolt on its hands, it needs to ensure that suitable and adequate (or better)public transport is available before imposing this harsh decree. For visitors unable to cope with trams, buses etc, there should be hireable evs in the same park and ride car parks. I was very impressed by the integrated green transport systems in Lisbon when when I visited this year. From the same bus terminal, you could hire electric bikes or electric buggies (with driver). It just takes a little imagination and a "can-do" attitude.
