Parking at the airport is the same. There is HST and then there is still PST (Parking Sales Tax). One day in short-term lot is $30+

oldsnail 08-27-2010 10:14 PM

the airport is like that too.. at least they break it down and admit the 35% increase

Like thumper said, blame Translink and the government.

wow..never knew parking pass for UBC was so expensive. All this time I've been just driving out to the golf course or around the neighborhood and just take the 99 B-Line into campus.

+1

taxes in vancouver are getting way out of control..

I know it's for education, health care, etc. etc.

but honestly.. too much of our tax money is going into greedy ppl pockets and waste.

ex.. how much money has been spent into downtown east side? Yet, we see no improvement. We need a better solution than just keep dumping tax money into there.

twitchyzero 09-01-2010 10:24 PM

shit 1200 is highway robbery.
fuck translink! moar evil than icbc
this is as much of a scam as my school asking me to pay $130 in printing fee each year...and we get everything in B&W

so while this thread is up here, anyone know how the legal case against UBC towing cars is going? i heard they cant tow your car unless it is illegally parked?

so if my car is in a spot, but meter's run out, they're not allowed to tow my car?

Gt-R R34 09-02-2010 12:40 AM

wow..i suddenly feel better when i use to pay 350-400 a sem.

PiuYi 09-02-2010 01:45 AM

I believe it's 3 parking tickets, then you get towed. They tow your car to health parkade so if you're hardcore enough, you can go take your car back by climbing over the fence and waiting till the guard leaves.

They will tow your car the next time you park without a valid ticket. The car will be held at the impound lot beside Health Science Parkade. You will have to pay the towing fee and all the past tickets. They will not release your car until you do that.

The whole game about UBC and the Courts have been thrown out. UBC will ticket and tow you. They also won't give you your car back unless you pay off your debt.

SERIOUSLY! It costs this much to park at these schools?!
Park a couple blocks away for free and ride the bus in!
