It is easy to envision a typical commute experience on the DAPR: A commuter enters the garage (could potentially be able to use his/her TxTAG to pay for parking) and parks; then waits 5 minutes to board a BAT that would deliver them to their destination stop in 8 minutes or less. If the commuter stays in the car, he/she is likely to spend 7-8 minutes at an intersection leading into downtown that they could avoid by parking in a DAPR garage. If they do not have a reserved parking space, the time spent circling the CBD looking for a metered parking space could exceed 15 minutes. DAPR provides a much faster alternative, especially with the dedicated lanes for the BATs.
