SuPerBoRed Twincharged January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 I completely do not understand one thing... the rationale of carpark charges in certain areas Why do some HDB carparks still implement charges during Sundays when its intended for visiting? My mum... right beside a popular sub urban mall... free parking on sunday My mum-in-law... new HDB block.. about 800m away from nearest MRT station... Parking is chargeable... why?? ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 hmmmm mum-in-law i can only think that @jamesc is the policy maker here Yes this good policy is so I can say to the wife cannot visit MIL so often as have to pay parking. And help people save money when they park to do their shopping. Something for everyone. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 HDB old estate is under old law. Sudden change ppl will kpkb. LoL... Now under new gen of governance they feel that parking rates are too cheap. Must charge regardless what day of the week. Just watch and see. As old blocks get torn down and new blocks of flats rises no more Sunday free parking. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 If possible think they will slowly slowly take away all free parking on sunday/PH. Even for new BTOs MSCP, even the carpark is located at some ulu location, they painted almost all levels with red lots, and only top two levels are white lots for visitors. Imagine if the MSCP is very high, when you reached to the level with white lot, you already feel giddy liao. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum... right beside a popular sub urban mall... free parking on sunday My mum-in-law... new HDB block.. about 800m away from nearest MRT station... Parking is chargeable... why?? Good question. And it's strange that your mother's place got free... which mall is it next to? I was under the impression that got mall means got lots of people will park, therefore nearby cannot be FOC, else everyone rush there, and the residents and their relatives (sons in laws esp ) and friends will not be able to locate parking lots. Yes this good policy is so I can say to the wife cannot visit MIL so often as have to pay parking. And help people save money when they park to do their shopping. Something for everyone. Be careful hor... Later the wife suggests that given the difficulties... why not eliminate the problem and ask the MIL to move in with you... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atrecord Supersonic January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 hahaha @Radx take note.... its beside hougang mall... Oh, yes. that one. I parked before long long time ago, before got kids. Just cross the junction can reach liao, quite convenient. Was wondering why so good... Some places like NEX, the nearby HDB carparks all no more free... not necessarily. the HDB MSCP opposite Tiong Bahru Plaza is free on Sundays and PHs. oh, really? OK, if i ever go there on Suns/PHs, i will try to remember this. and i suddenly remember in AMK central, got quite a few MSCPs Suns got free parking, but still AMKHub always full... strange...
