The city of Limassol, Cyprus, is taking major steps toward improving urban mobility with the introduction of a new Park & Ride system and dedicated bus lanes.
The announcement was made recently by the Cyprus Ministry of Transport as part of a broader initiative to reduce traffic congestion and promote sustainable transportation in the city.
Park & Ride Project Details
As part of this plan, dedicated bus lanes will be constructed along key traffic corridors in Limassol. The Ministry has already launched a public tender for the project, with a deadline for applications set for September 20. After the evaluation process, the winning contractor will begin implementation immediately.
The project will be developed in two phases, with a total budget exceeding €10 million. The funding will come entirely from the European Recovery and Resilience Fund, under the Thaleia 2021–2027 Programme.
Phase One: Agios Tychonas to Old Port
The first phase will involve the construction of a dedicated bus lane from the Agios Tychonas area to the Old Port of Limassol, with an estimated cost of €8 million.

Park & Ride Parking Zones
Two large parking areas will also be developed as part of the new Park & Ride scheme. Commuters and tourists will be able to park their vehicles for free and then take special buses directly into the city center.
This system aims to minimize traffic within Limassol’s busy urban areas and provide a more efficient, eco-friendly transportation solution for both locals and visitors.
According to city officials, this initiative is a critical step toward easing the city’s growing traffic issues and aligning with the broader goals of sustainable urban development.
