IMM Carpark

[Explorerii]

Always having trouble getting a parking lot at IMM on weekends. Worse was last weekend when it took me 40minutes to get a parking lot.

Have seen those paid parking gentry build at the entrance but its not being used. I think from the way the carpark is being utilised , I bet the days of FREE parking at IMM will soon be over. I think sooner than later. Any comments?

Today......Holiday.....Sure very Crowded....

[Nutty]

If u wanna go IMM, make sure you reach there before 11am on weekends.

 

Otherwise, be prepared to wait wait wait...

[Rollagt]

The gantry had been up for quite some time oredi..perhaps the Mgmt foresee that if they starts the paid parking then shoppers flow will drop drastically.

[Octopus]

I understand that there are still quite some renovation works going on at IMM.....once the renovation almost finish, they will start charging...

[Jacf]

With Free parking , one can spend up almost an entire day there at IMM..

 

Maybe the mgmt can change the parking scheme to something like Free parking for only 1st hr or allow shoppers to redeem parking when they purchase at IMM.. else Free parking may not mean good business! some ppl may work nearby and park their cars there whole day..

[Nhyone]

They can always give the first 3 hours free, subsequently $2/hr. This should be sufficient for most shoppers and discourage those who park for 8 hours.

[Apollo]

afaik, they hv no intention to charge anything even though the barriers r up. the disruption to parking is nothing to do with nos of shoppers but the refurbishing of the carpark over the past 2-3 weeks, floor by floor. currently they moving work to the 4th floor.

[Rollagt]

Hmm..ur comment might be feasible.

We shall wait and see lor..

 

Like Jurong Point last time they adopt the per entry $2 when U enter and no charges when U exit. Good sia. Can visit frens nearby JP and park there whole day for $2 flat + shelter.

[Arowana1]

i dun mind if they charge cos some inconsiderate people park the whole day there and spend like few hours loitering around and letting kids play at the playground the entire afternoon.

 

with singaporean selfish and kiasu mentality, freebies cannot be given out in this little red dot. there has to be some sort of control. maybe free 1-2 hours, then charge etc.

[Picanto]

there is a beep sound from my erp unit when i pass their gantry. perhaps they are keeping track of the number of cars that enter the carpark before deciding to implement ERP parking?

[Leech]

hi, pls dun speak so early... wait till u have ur own kids... u will appreciate these freebies..

 

especially indoor playground in this little red HOT dot...

[Apollo]

nope.. vehicle/ inventory tracking is done by the carparking system which indicate nos of available lots and entry/ exit location.

 

i suppose if ur ERP is activated, it is likely the barrier system is active but not active operational. it is active to send out long range IR signal to the car.

I am a regular at IMM, every vist I'll proceed to the fifth floor car park. Better chance there, average waiting time is 15 minutes.

Feel the ramp is not freiendly for lowered ride. Have my front bumper scratch a number of times.

[Typhoonz]

Have to be a bit patient when you want to park there... Can always hang around on the lower decks and wait for people to vacate their lots...

maybe they shd close off the whole carpark and make people take BMW...

 

That's my comments. At times, when carparks are been charged, people make noise, now that it's free, people also want to complain.

 

Frankly, is it really that difficult to get a lot there when it tells you which level got free lot? I have been there quite a few time for the past 3weeks and each time, I don't have to wait coz I just drive to the level where there's lot. And also open your eyes and look for potential lot when people are walking to their cars.

 

oh.. another comment: why don't they close off the whole of IMM and let you shop there alone for a fee.

 

Sigh

[Sony]

That's because you lower your ride... you want this, you got to give up the comfort of driving to such places.

Free parking -> no lots -> complain

Plenty of lots -> Expensive parking -> complain
