    CCTV cameras installed for all parking slots
    The building has an incredibly sophisticated way to monitor your car while it's parked. Each slot is monitored by a camera that can tell with 99% accuracy whether it is occupied or not. This means super-accurate, real-time tracking of parking availability. These cameras are also sensitive to movement, which would come in handy in case a fellow parker scratches or dents your car and decides to bolt.









    "Find My Car" service
    The CCTV cameras, used in tandem with the intelligent car recognition software, allow forgetful motorists to easily find their cars. Did you just come out of a two-hour movie that blew your mind so wide open that you can't remember where you parked? Just ask a concierge for help and the software will find your car in an instant.





    Just input your car details and the Find Your Car system will—to put it simply—find your car

    Parking concierge
    But not all its innovations and conveniences are so high-tech. The SMart Parking System also has a personal concierge service that assists parkers with things like tire and battery failures, auto mechanical and electrical services, locksmith services, car cleaning, towing services, police assistance, and ambulance services. Ask the concierge for help and you'll get it.

    This project is a collaboration between SM and the National University. Together, the developer and the school tapped TMA Technologies, an Australian solutions provider, to upgrade the way we park. TMA Tech has installed these technologies in parking spaces elsewhere in the world: Malaysia, Spain, France, South America, and Australia. For the first time ever, thanks to SM, the Philippines is getting in on it, too.

    If you'd like to see it for yourself, the SMart Parking System is installed in the National University MOA Building on Coral Way. The parking building is open daily from 6am, with a fixed rate of P50. The ground floor is also home to a variety of food and lifestyle outlets, including Juice Cubi, Sunny Baker Cafe, Yellow Cab, Krispy Kreme, Jamba Juice, Alfamart, Tim Horton's and Popeye's.



    The first floor has great places to eat, including a soon-to-open Popeye's



    And yet there's a lot to look forward to still. SM has a mobile app in the works—one with a lot of additional features built in, including the ability to make parking-related transactions. They're also looking at digital promos, fun deals, and events that can leverage the cross-promotion features of the SMart Parking System, as well as no-contact payment via debit or credit cards.





    SM is also looking to provide convenient ways to go about parking transactions



    If you like what you see, you'd be glad to know that SM hopes to roll this out in other buildings within the Mall of Asia Complex, then in other major SM malls. If this is the future of Metro Manila parking, we'd be a whole step closer to a better metropolis for motorists.

    Tried parking dyan yesterday. May walkway na to SMX and another mall/hotel. 50 flat rate (dunno if same pag weekdays). Maganda naman ang layout. Kung sa 2nd level ka papark at napwesto ka sa area near the ramp to the upper level, kelangan mong umakyat to the upper level and find the exit there. Wala nga lang sign to tell the that procedure to the driver. Although I had a hint dahil one way lang ang arrow signs sa floor, na-confirm ko lang by observing another vehicle na pa-exit na.

    Through SM parking app pwedeng malaman percentage ng occupancy pero hindi real time. Hindi ko rin mahanap sa app yung "find your car" feature na ina-advertise nila. May nag-a-assist sa paggamit ng ticket payment machine.

    Yung usual red and green light signaling occupancy ng slot nagiging blue kung hindi aligned sa slot ang pagkakapark. At the time I was there may SUV kasi na nagpark sa PWD slot pero over the zebra lines sya pumarada.

    Evia basement and "mezzanine" parking are nice. Perpendicular parking but with ample space for swinging the doors. Problem lang is the ramp when going from basement to mezzanine. Matarik ang ramp and you have to make a sharp right once you reach the top or you'll end up going against traffic.

    On the way out may nakasalubong akong Hummer. Di makaliko paakyat sa ramp dahil kakainin nya talaga yung lane na pababa.

    konti ng slots sa basement ng Evia, not sure dun sa baba ng bagong extenstion kung marami?

    Sa tapat naman, tabi ng mcdo, lagi puno at ang sikip

    Almost lahat pa naman ng pumupunta dito naka sasakyan, kasi di sya accessible.

    In reality..


    Kung ikaw mismo ang nagdadala ng sasakyan, alam mo lahat kung saan mo ipaparada...

    dati, nasa 25-40 pesos lang dati...

    ngayon nasa 50 pesos na... + may charge na ngayon ng over-night... + yung differential pa..


    Gawain ko dati na mag-park mga sikat na parking area sa makati..


    Gastos namin, 3K a month... First 3-5 Hours, (depende kung saan naka-park)

    yung excess nyan, additional (10-15, pesos per hour).. walang overnight charges..

    Fixed Rated pag weekends..

    2014 pa during that time..

    Perpetual Help Medical Center... wala namang improvement na ginagawa pero 45 per hour na ang parking.

    Vista Mall Las Piņas maganda parking building kaso antaas sobra ng tire guard. Once made the mistake of parking nose first. Sumabit bumper - tipong mapupunit bumper kung pwersahang iatras. Buti na lang mabigat ako kaya umupo muna ako sa likuran (para medyo tumingala ang kotse) at si misis ang nag-drive para mai-atras.

    si ayala hindi talaga marunong mga engineer architext pag mall.

    doon sa trinoma sa mindanao avenue open air parking. Dapat may gwardiya or sesor doon pag may lalabas paakyat.

    Kannan sa landmark bale pauwi na ako eh bigla may motorcycle na biglang lumabas doon sa open air parking nagulat ako dire-direcho walang lingon-lingon. Busina ako malakas ayun naalala nya lumingon huminto at hinid makatingin. Kung nasa pinakaright ako eh sapol talaga sya lilipad sya. Maiistorbo pa ako dahil inisip ko na ano kakainin ko paguwi bahay. Ngayon magiging careful talaga ako sa lugar na yan haaaay ayala wala asenso. Parang blind spot eh bigalng may lilitaw paahon.

    Kung walang landmark jan eh hindi dapat puntahan. Si landmark na kaya magtake-over ng trinoma.

    Best parking of course should be free with roving security guard and it would be nice if it has roofing cover.

    Is it proven doc? What I do is I spray lysol in the flooring and let the aircon circulate for a few minutes.

    noontime-sun sanitation? where the sun's rays heat the vehicle and cause dehydration (natutuyo) ?
    i believe in it.

    fungus and mushrooms grow well in poorly lighted locales.

    Sa davids tea house meron sarili covered parking pero kumain ka worth 300pesos ata para libre na within 2hours ata or 3hours.

    Ako kuripot magbayad pay parking kaya meron ako pinparadahan jan and as usual LIBRE if me kagalingan.

    So mapa-mall and lahat pinupuntahan ko eh libre ako pero excemption si megamall. Bumubunot talaga ako jan no choice eh. Ang bigat kaya sa pakiramdam.

    the last time we went there (years ago), we parked at the metropolitan opera house across the bridge, and walked the rest of the way.
    by now, that place may already be un-parkable.
    the safest parking place with reasonable guarantee for space availability, is probably SM city hall.
