How much is parking at BCIT?
 
Starting school in BCIT this semester.
Haven't went there before, but it's night classes.

The site says $4, but is it cheaper during night time or anything like that?

Eatman 01-04-2010 03:05 PM

what are you taking?
i'm starting class tonight too

iwantaskyline 01-04-2010 03:06 PM

$3.50

Is your car modded? If so don't park your car at BCIT because it will get raped. Cars get broken into every day there. My car was hit twice.

Park your car on the main lots; go early, make sure it's near the campus/lights. My civic got stolen within 3 days of parking at BCIT.

If he's taking night courses, he can park closer to main buildings instead of out in the boonies somewhere

Damn... hoping it would have been cheaper with some night time discount. Seems too pricey :(

But I guess the bus would take $5 round trip...

nabs 01-04-2010 04:00 PM

for bus as long as you are in full time... all you need is a one zone pass and just buy the transit sticker from a tnt, and you can use it for all zones.

Yeah. I'm just basically going to school 6hrs/week there. So not full time.
But it only cost 1 zone to go anywhere after 6:30pm anyway.

AzNightmare 01-04-2010 04:14 PM

Is there parking around White Avenue South??
I believe my class is in the SW3 area...

Google map shows parking stalls, but I can't tell if that is staff area or what.
Doesn't really say in this diagram...

Or maybe I'm just not reading it properly.

shenmecar 01-04-2010 04:22 PM

its $4 now?!?!?!

ryugeeh 01-04-2010 04:24 PM

yeah they jacked up the price

ajax 01-04-2010 04:27 PM

Up to $4. Does Impark do anything but write tickets? Like patrol the lots?

Mr.Jay 01-04-2010 04:52 PM

yea deff there is parking lot patrol yet they dont seem to do shit about ppl gettin their car broken into.

you can always do what a couple guys in my class did. They would park next to each other and one of them would pay, if the other guy got a ticket he would just take the stub and say he put in the wrong number but he did pay.

misteranswer 01-04-2010 05:06 PM

If you're willing to go for a 10 minute hike, there's free parking just East of Wayburne

Drizzt Do'Urden 01-04-2010 05:13 PM

its pretty much free after a certain time because the students pay for all day parking in the morning

i never pay whenever i go there in the afternoon and ive never gotten caught

nabs 01-04-2010 05:34 PM

I haven't actualy paid for parking within the last year.

but wtf 4 dollars now? more reason not to pay.

mr.rakkar 01-04-2010 07:12 PM

bcit needs to let students park in the teacher zone but charge a bit more...i used to pay 7 now i pay 8.50 to park in the vistor zone but i think i am going to start busing it to school now

Doesn't matter where you park.

DavidNguyen 01-04-2010 07:21 PM

JKam 01-04-2010 07:36 PM

^ thats a far walk depending where your classes are

or $5-$7 (both ways) & 30-60 mins of your time sitting next to a stranger if you use transit... :haha:

$3.50 sound like a bargain to me.

AzNightmare 01-04-2010 09:21 PM

So I just got back...
Parked in Lot 15. I paid $3. Cheaper than I expected...
But I had to walk quite a way to the paying machine. Then had to walk all the way back to my car again to put on my parking stub.
But I noticed none of the other cars had a stub on their dashboard...
So not sure what's going on... did I pay for no reason??

The lot definitely had a sign saying you have to pay at all times.
And there was even a BCIT employee in the building that said I need to pay when I asked
her.
