Gintong parking. It's about time for a regulating body

[boybi]

i don't have any issues on the parking rates imposed by any establishment kasi alam ko naman na parte yan ng bisnis nila. wala naman kasi tayong batas na bawal maningil ng parking fees ang mga establishment. regulating it... imo malabong mangyari yan. don't get me wrong, kung meron mas mababa na rates bakit hindi
ang hindi ko maintindihan ay yung mga hotel na yung parking fees nila ay hindi pa isinama sa hotel rates para iwas hassle lalo na pag ang cashier/counter ng checkout at parking ay magkaiba, at yung mga nag employ ng mga b*b*ng guards na pag nabasa ang parking tiket ay humihingi ng additional penalty

Hindi naman kasi lahat ng hotel guests may kotse.

Which hotels? Even the cheapest hotels I've gone to (and I've gone to some really crappy hotels) have free parking for check-in guests. They have to... otherwise, no business. Even those that have you park on the sidestreet strip along Roxas Boulevard.

I once had a brand new test unit parked beside a movie star's sports car when we stayed at a casino on Roxas. Didn't even need a ticket or validation. Pure pogi points lang. (The car, not me. )

McDonalds Alabang, ATC near the church, SM Las Piñas open parking. Metro Mall, Puregold & Shopwise Alabang validates parking tickets, good for 4 hours. With the cost of real estate, taxes, cost to develop parking areas, naturally, they would charge. I keep a mental note of those that charge too high, like metal parking in Shopwise. I would avoid them in the future.

Shopwise in Festival validates? Really? Which parking area? For Puregold, are you talking Molito? Still, I prefer South Super, because it's less hassle to go to.

Metro is the best, if you can get a spot. No hassle basement parking, it's inside ATC already, and it doesn't cost that much even without validation. But you've got to wake up early in the morning to get a spot there. And they only open at 10. South Supermarket opens at 8.

-

McDonald's Alabang, great spot, also, but it fills up right away, and if you're early enough to get a spot there, you're early enough to get a spot at Metro. ATC by the church... too far from the mall. And worse, wrong side. All the places I need to go are on the other side.

Ang problema sa atin, we kept on comparing PH to other developed countries. Developing pa lang tayo. Maganda transport system ng Singapore, HK and japan? Mga developed countries. Ang layo naman yata ng comparison. Is PH comparable to those countries?

As for skyrocketing parking fee. Kung ayaw magbayad eh di Huwag gumamit ng kotse. Kahit saan naman financial district in the world mahal Ang parking.

Pretty much.

I don't see a problem with the parking rate. If you have no business at the hospital, then you have no business parking there, di ba?

-

Parking in the whole of Alabang used to be free. But now that traffic is increasing, there are fewer and fewer free lots. Last ones, I think, are S&R and South Supermarket... they're still too far away from offices and other businesses for it to matter.

Same here. I patronize more often establishments that offer free or reasonable parking fees.

Wala pa kong hotel na nastayan na hindi libre yung parking when I was a checked-in guest.

BTT: we live in a capitalist world. Bat ko gagawing 20 pesos parking fee ko kung pwedeng 300?

It's all about profits and you shouldn't be so surprised about that. If McDo can charge 1000 pesos for a cheeseburger, they would - except that at that price level, they won't have any customers anymore.

But for parking, supply is limited and demand is growing, simple as that. People can commute but most are too spoiled to leave their comfy cars and take public transpo. They'd rather make futile complaints about parking fees because they don't want to be paying so much for convenience. Thing is, the price of convenience will just steadily rise unless you either increase supply by having more parking lots or developing more CBDs outside Makati/Fort/Ortigas, or decrease demand by improving public transpo and getting more people to commute in the metro.

And do you think the government will step in? Doubt it. Matutuwa pa sila - they don't have to deal with the issue of lessening cars on the road anymore since the private sector is doing it for them.

Nowadays... specially in metro manila... i'd be happy if there's parking space available... free or not :D

Abusado kaso ibang motorist eh. Gagamitin ang parking lot ng isang establishment pero establishment are not getting any business from them. Ang nangyayari yung mga legit customers nila eh di maka park.

Tulad na lang sa South, sa may molito. Yung covered parking under pure gold. Palibhasa fix rate {last time I parked), protected pa from sun and rain, kaya puno sya during office hours. Ngayon yung mga true customer ng molito eh walang choice kundi sa malayo mag park.

^I was about to say that. Nauso na nga rin kasi yung pag may free or cheap parking... yung mga malapit na offices/business centers dun na nagpa-park maghapon mga empleyado. Nakahalata na rin kaya kanya-kanya nang pamamaraan para di ma-over run ng mga "freeloaders". Especially true dun sa mga malalapit sa call centers.

wag mo na intindihin mga taga call centers bro, sa gabi lang naman sila napasok. unless pang gabi rin work mo.

hotel? shangri la hotel makati offers free parking(if your checked in), you just need to validate it or they will give you parking passes(for longer stays), heck even dropping off to get your laundry done is free, even if you went beyond the 15 minutes, you just need to have the ticket validated.

[noitimed]

Sa Centris Mall Quezon Avenue may bayad na ang parking nila. Dati nung libre pa puno palagi dyan especially dun sa basement parking nila. Ngayon kahit weekend o kahit payday palaging may bakante.

Kahit meron ka lang guess na nakacheck-in, free din ang parking just use his/her room number sa validation.

^Tama lang ginawa ng Centris. It weeded out the free riders.

sayang lang kasi ito na yata yung huling alam kong mall within the center of Metro Manila na libre ang parking. Ang alam kong mall na may libre pang parking is sm fairview pa. Pero sa center ng Metro, parang wala na.

Sayang din kasi dyan ako sa Centris nagbabayad ng bills ng credit card, telepono at kuryente kasi walang pila ang sm bayad center at wala ngang bayad ang parking. Sana meron silang free parking if less than 30 mins ang stay. Katulad ko pumupunta lang ako dun para magbayad ng bills.

Naisip ko rin yan na at least mga 1 hour free sana for those who have transactions there. Validate na lang with a receipt or something when you head out. Pero ang laki ng niluwag ng parking lalo sa basement, think nawala yung mga daily parkers na nangiiwan ng car dun sabay sakay sa MRT going to workplace.

sa waltermart muñoz may 15 minutes free parking. just enough to buy at one of the boutiques inside.

[_Cathy_]

Ayala Malls too is free for 15 minutes. It's enough time if you just need to pick up or buy something in a hurry.

Kaya gustong gusto ko diyan sa SM Fairview coz of its free parking. Ang lawak pa ng parking area niya but the downside is, it's not covered parking. Kahit na malaki yang mall na yan, at least they never made it a pay parking.
