I parked at the roof covered parking underneath the music building (super hidden) and still got a ticket.
If the lot is runned by ubc then there is no such thing as "they never check" . Posted via RS Mobile | |

Posted via RS Mobile | Left my car infront of my place for two weeks without moving it once and didn't get a single ticket. And yes thats before I got my parking pass. Its just not the most convenient location but that also depends where your classes are. No system is perfect and with a campus that big there are always spots where they don't check.

Not trying to be a dick but if everyone starts parking here I'm sure the parking Nazis would be all over my place in no time due to the complaints from residents. Thats how UBC caught onto the giftcard trick because everyone started doing it. I ended up getting a parking pass because my landlord didn't need hers anymore so I just took it for the sake of it.

Basically any gift card that had a magnetic strip. It worked at all the parking lots at UBC for a good while as long as you do self checkout but eventually UBC caught on.

BTW you mean Gc as in ones with no value or value? would they still work at the b-lot parking lots where its like $6/ day? Those machines seem to be easier to get away with.

I know they don't work at the big parades anymore since thats what I was told and I doubt they'll even work at any of the smaller lots. UBC probably fixed it for all the lots I would assume.

Btw how u know about ubc changing the ticket machines and that this trick doesn't work anymore? Posted via RS Mobile | |

Since we're talking about the cameras at the parkade; I saw this grey pickup truck last Saturday parked in front of one of the North parkade's exit lanes and the top of the truck had these 2 boxes with what seemed like cameras, anybody seen this truck before as well?

Posted via RS Mobile | Not that I know of, although I might be wrong but if your plate isn't registered in the UBC system through parking passes they don't have your personal information and they usually don't chase you down. The only way they chase people down is if you owe them money from previous tickets and it so happens that they are checking plates at the lot you're parked at, in which case you're fucked. I don't think the machines were changed but more of technical adjustments for what kind of cards each machine accepts. I knew because my friends all ended up paying for parking eventually lol.

Cops can track down where u live even if you are not registered with ubc parking. Your plate is recorded on camera lol. I would only do this at the outdoor b-lots where there are no cameras if it still works now. Posted via RS Mobile | |

They stop checking the bookstore after 9-10pm. Also, even if you get a ticket, just don't come back, its only UBC transit security :P

Got ticketed today at Totem parking. If my car isn't registered to my student number, do i have to pay ? And what's their policy on towing ? I drive once or twice a week and just use pay parking, they wont tow right unless I get another ticket or something ?

Got a ticket last week that's in the dispute process. The lot beside Allard Hall sort of in between one of the Buchs (  ) and Buch Tower put in new "authorized UBC service vehicles only" signs that are barely visible cause all the fucking service vans are blocking the signs, no indications on the ground. Was not there the last time I parked there, fucking scumbags.
Also why are all the parkades now metered? Pretty annoying.
