We have our sgcarmart parking app, and how many ppl use it to check the parking lot before you head down to your fav shopping centre? Not in our generation for sure. Maybe 30 years later. haha Yah man, even with Google maps giving real time traffic conditions also few ppl bother to use, they rather get trap and form part of the jam. These days, I always check with Google map before I move off... ↡ Advertisement 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic February 20, 2021 Share February 20, 2021 28 minutes ago, Weez911 said: I don't see this any different from current system where there are elements of quickness of action (finger vs actual driving) and money involved. In fact it will disadvantage some of the older drivers because they will never be able to find parking lots easily again.. But on the pro side, people need not drive around aimlessly looking for parking space also. There could be less congestion on the roads around malls and popular spots. Think what's more required is mindset change. People using grab to go to malls which is now popular. When i go to vivo sometimes, i see lot of pple waiting for their grab pickup instead of just standing at taxi stand. Public transport via PHV/taxis (eventually autonomous AI dropping us off at the pickup points). Otherwise the jams at the entrance/exit ramps limit any usefulness of such reserved parking. If our carparks, open air like in Australia or USA, maybe such an app would be desired. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antlau 1st Gear February 20, 2021 Share February 20, 2021 Car and carparks are not like humans and restaurants. You reserve, you slither in and enter, you sit. For cars, if having a lot of cars, you stop, you STILL LL queue, you still LL wait, till you reach your lot. I think it will make our inner fire burn even more hotter. I think valet is a more suitable system for car parking, as car owners want fast and more convenient/efficient service, leave the finding and parking to someone else... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopites Supersonic February 20, 2021 Share February 20, 2021 To solve lack of parking lot. Increase fare to $10 for 30 minutes 24 / 7. Alternatively cut coe quota increase coe premium to above 100k. Or increase fuel duty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wahahahah Thought they are selling the parking lot liao, since we need to pay for season parking to park at hdb carpark? But fees still too low, maybe they should increase it to $300 per season lot? 😅 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
