Don't complain la...

COE drop, road tax drop, car price drop..

Haha.. Give and take.

ERP increase, Petrol increase, parking also must increase.

Now more and more gantries in SG, plus so exp just to pass thru them.

Parking rate increase is foreseeable.

Afterall, even season parking in HDB also increase like siao.

Agreed?

Correction:
IMM car park has always been free. It became crowded ever since Giant moved in as the anchor tenant. At one point, they put up the car park barrier to implement paid parking but it was axed and the barriers were removed. How I know so much is I used to stay next to IMM for 7 years before I moved out 2 years ago. Before that, I also used to shop at IMM (early to mid 90's) because I was a member there when the place was occupied by "Mega Mart" and I still do nowadays.

But I am disappointed if really JP decide to increase the parking fees. besides IMM, I do go JP. I remember that they used to charge $2 per entry and being one of the first few Car Parks in Singapore that accept Cashcard at the entry / exit point.

haowee SG

ya me stay near IMM also.
Carpark always full there.

Anyway JP got TP to design and build a intelligent carpark.
And in the end they invested in a design which consist of a camera which will read your number plate, store it in the database.
Then come out same thing happen, then see how long you park and charged accordingly.

But they were charging $2 per entry which I don't understand why they want to use database to calculate the timing and pricing.

Then camera slow. Road outside jam. Buses going into interchange also jam.
Everything jam.

That's why they decided to let people pay when going in and then come out no barrier, just drive out. So change 1 out lane to in lane. Which is 3 lanes going into carpark and 1 lane going out instead of the 2 and 2 in the first place.

And this is using cash card, which is one of the first carpark to implement cashcard payment. Then carpark jam again because a lot of cash card no money. They got to station a guard to help people top up cash card.

Then they happy happy change to the current ERP system kind and so change charges. And i think their charges for parking is on the high side for a neighbourhood shopping center.

They used to charge $1 per entry before 5pm and $2 per entry after 5pm.
Then now that day i was there like 2 hours plus and got charged $4.80...
and they have no sign saying that they change the parking system and no time to go read small wordings because got car behind me...

Got pros n cons la... Pros is that turnover of the cars will be faster now that the parking charges are more ex. Thus easier to find a lot... Simillar to Causeway Point. $1 for first hour and 50c for subsequent half hour even for wkends... thus never have a problem finding a lot there... But i must admit that the parking rate is a bit on the high side. Rolling Eyes

Take it as a lesson learnt for not finding out abt the parking charges b4 parking. A shopping centre can charge what they want, if you are acceptable to it then you park if not then dun park.

my fren park for 5hrs at cuppage i think abt 15 bucks... haha
