There was an increase of 21% in Jan of 2010 and then on July 1st 2010, the HST was added on top.

this pass has all access to any parkade

$430 is indeed very good for 2 terms, I was paying around $700~800 for two terms of parking back then.

lowside67 08-27-2010 01:03 PM

That doesnt say it's for 2 terms...? That looks like the price for a 1 term pass.

Gee.Tee.Ar 08-27-2010 01:12 PM

^yeh no way its that cheap..

ok, i guess they changed their policies. Back a few years ago parking passes for winter is for 2 terms. I'm really feeling old.

Anyways, that's some crazy taxes right there. Time to sell ur Upass & recover some of that cost.

You mean any one parkade right? Pretty sure you can't use that pass for any parkade any time.

AzNightmare 08-27-2010 03:57 PM

lolol TAX on the TAX? wtf

flagella 08-27-2010 04:03 PM

fck these ridiculous prices. My last semester at SFU I went with no pass and only got a warning once. Just need to find a good spot. There was one time when I parked beside a Corolla. When I got back, that corolla had a ticket while I didn't lol
