Acton Park car parks

hk0reduck at $9 a day (and fee rises on the whim of the owners) who wouldn’t be tight arsed about it…

‘oh well anyway, I’m warm and dry on those off days when it does rain.’

I last used ACTION about 25 years ago. From Woden to Kambah we did the tourist route via Weston & Warramanga. It was raining, and each time we turned left, the bloody roof leaked a heap of water onto me and surrounding passengers.

Not sure if they’ve improved, but I’m not about to find out.

There are no fee’s for parking a car in Newcastle

perhaps some ANU students could use this car park and walk to lectures?

i can confirm what hk0reduck says is true. 🙂

A lot of the people who park in that carpark would be employees of AQIS, DAFF & BioSecurity Australia who moved from the Edmund Barton Building in Barton last year.

They were all used to the free Car-Parking that existed in Barton for years and are probably still being tight-arsed about having to pay for it.

I love how some people, not all but some seem to think that both paying for a car park and or catching a bus to and from work is beneath them. As one who really has no choice but to commute via ACTION it never ceases to amaze me to find people walking to work from a distant ‘free’ carpark before 8.00am so as to avoaid a cost but they dare not use the bus that whizzes past them taking them virtually where they need to go…oh well anyway, I’m warm and dry on those off days when it does rain.

People in Canberra are very opposed to pay parking, and public transport.

How truly true! In fact, I’ve never been anywhere else in the world where this is the case. It’s a self imposed, non-negotiable mind-set! Unreal!

People in Canberra are very opposed to pay parking, and public transport. So what happens when pay parking is introduced? They park just outside pay parking areas, where the parking is free, and walk the extra 500m (or even 1Km!) – leaving large swathes of empty paid parking lots.

They built it so people would have somewhere to park when they turn the carpark across from the lakeside into a construction site. They’re supposed to tun it back into a (non car) park after the construction(which includes a multi story carpark) is finished.
