(1)The percentage of vehicles parked at Gosnells, Seaforth and Thornlie stations that arrive with only one passenger is unknown.
(2) The Public Transport Authority has not implemented a system to give priority to multiple occupancy vehicles because of the difficulty with administration and the extra costs that would be associated with policing such a system.
(3) No, the capacity of train station car parks will not be doubled by car pooling. Not all passengers will want to or be able to arrange to share their journey to the station.
