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

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

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

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.

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
