Early Bird Parking Discontinued in the City Centre
Auckland Transport to discontinue the option
I saw on Twitter earlier today that Auckland Transport were to discontinue the Early Bird parking fee for their three City Centre Parking parking buildings.
This from the AT website:
Downtown car park
Casual parking $3 per hour*
Early bird parking discontinued
From 1 December 2014, early bird parking is being discontinued in Auckland Transport’s Downtown, Civic and Victoria Street car park buildings. Our daily rate of $17 will apply to all day parkers.
- Historically AT has subsidised people to drive into the city at peak times, which is adding to congestion.
- Our prices are increasing to dis-incentivise people to drive during one of the busiest times of the day (am peak).
- Moving forward that money will be used to put into public transport, which is our number one priority.
- View public transport options.
- See what AT is proposing with the new public transport network.
Fees
| MONDAY – FRIDAY 6AM – 5PM | |
|---|---|
| 0-1 hours | $3 |
| 1-2 hours | $6 |
| 2-3 hours | $9 |
| 3-4 hours | $12 |
| 4-5 hours | $15 |
| 5+ maximum fee | $17 |
