Carpark Full

Finding a parking space can at times be a dreadful experience - especially at the one basement in Gadong.

Not once but a couple of times - when it comes to weekends or public holidays or if there is any event that could catch the attention of people to flock to that area - CQ could not find a parking space after PAYING $2 per-entry fee at the entrance booth.

At times during peak season period and knowing that the car park basement will be full, CQ will always ask Mr. Entrance-Booth-Man if he is sure there are still parking spaces in the basement .. he will always reply 'ada, ada lagi..' but yet you will witness a scenario of cars roaming around the basement looking for vacant spaces ..some can even park suka-suka at odd angle space.

So what happens when one can-Not find a parking space and has to exit? Do you get a refund of the $2 fee? It did NOT say 'non-refundable' on the small paper-ticket if there is no more parking space... so can refund lah? If not, then CQ has been 'robbed' ...

There is one multi-storey parking lot that has caught CQ's attention. It is well organized and so easy for one to locate any vacant parking space.

Those red lights lined above the cars indicate that each parking spaces are not available. The light will turn green if it is vacant. Cool =)

Can we have parking lots like this? We pay parking or entrance fees, therefore we deserve good and reliable management of the parking lots ..and of course with drivers that understand parking lots ethics!
