Currently the MSCP at my place (Tampines) is extremely full. (Bought 2 months season parking for my rented vehicle here) If I don't get back before 9p.m. I can forget about parking anywhere else but the roof top, and if I get back after 11 I have to go park at the open carpark opposite.

i stay in Tampines near dunman sec. my MSCP sheltered lots will be full by 9 plus. Rooftop gone by 11plus. many season tickets car parking on yellow lines , any crevices, loading ,unloading bay, roadside, washing bay , handicap lot(not often) after midnite.

 

I got a summon last year april i think. Iwrote in and complained. BUt only this feb 09 i received the reply mail from stating it is waived. [thumbsdown]

 

My MSCP has quite a few cars from opposite the road HDB blocks. I guess their open air CP must be full also or they like MSCP better? But they are contributing to our current state.

At my current open-space carpark, I always run out of place to park when I come home at night. As I have to work late rather frequently, it is really inconvenient.

 

I understand that this is a common scenario with open-space carparks. Therefore, I am contemplating buying a flat with MSCP.

 

To those who park at MSCP, can you guys tell me if you have ever run out of a lot to park if you come home late at night (1~2 am)? No place to park at all - not even on the highest floor?

 

I find same phenomena in my area too. For past few months since car prices dipped, the open-space carpark suddenly clogged up. Strangely, most of the parked vehicles are company-owned light lorries or vans. Can the driver register these vehicles with HDB or Town Council to get a season carpark lot? If so, this is the root of the problem, IMHO. A lot of these drivers treating their company vehicles like for private use, and granted season parking. Worse, these people usually knock off work on time, so by 8pm, already happily parked, in their flat, with dinner, put legs up watching TV. Whereas for those doing professional or office work - unpaid overtime is quite common - so by the time return home, find that there are almost no lots available!

 

Complaining to HDB or council sometimes no use, because they will roll out the standard excuse that going by their records, there should still be "ample parking space" available for residents.

 

A malaysian fren of mine remarked on this funny situation here, not just in HDB but also private condos, i.e. if you paid for a season carpark lot, shouldn't the lot be reserved for you?? Apparently in private housing estates in malaysia, where residents pay for season parking, they get a reserved lot with your car reg number painted on it. After all, you paid for it! Why pay for season parking, if there's no assurance of getting a lot??

In Singapore

 

Season parking == Siam wheel clamp or summon

 

U wan reserved lot? Pay more :D

 

scary to think whether they will increase season parking this year. reason could be shortage of parking lots etc........

That's the exact area I'm staying! [laugh]

 

But I find it easier to get a lot at the open air carpark opposite! If I come back after 11 I don't even bother to enter the MSCP but head straight for the open lots. I've even come back at 12 plus or 1 a.m. and the open carpark isn't that full, at least I could find several lots to choose from. Maybe as you said they like MSCP better for some reason.

Bro,mine was a open air carpark.And it was full at 9pm.Anything later than 9 can drive further out and find lots at other block.And mine was a matured estate.Alot of ppl who doesn't belong here,like pple married out and come back father mother place for dinner parked here without coupons or just 1 50 cents coupon parked for few hrs that sort.Ever call HDB,also standard reply,in our records still got vacancy,thus we'll not be drawing red lots.What the fish...And still dare to suggest that I parked at few blocks away,I asked them to study my block area,not another few blocks which is so far from my place.Guess my estate belong to opposition,thus bo bian.

Having the same issue with the hdb basement carpark.

 

There was once when I reached my place at 4am and the carpark was 100% full and coincidentally, the parking warden was doing his round and advised me to park by the side of the carpark first. I have to wake up at 7am to shift my car into proper lot to avoid the summon ticket. This carpark is meant for seasoned parking from 1030pm to 7am; no free parking on Sunday and Public Holidays but every night, it is always full with some owners parking by the side.

 

Think it is really a issue of under-design the lots for its residents.

Neutral Newbie

I've been parking on the top level B5 open air recently when I come back late.

This has never happened last year, and 5 years ago, A5 has hardly anyone parking,

only those who want to avoid dents park there as there are so many empty lots.

Guess its only a matter of time before I face the problem of not having a lot

despite paying for season parking.

the mscp at my place , when i come home late about after 12mn, all the storeys will be full , except the roof top. the roof top is never full though. years ago the mscp was not as pack as now, which i believe is the case for all other car parks in singapore, due to car population boom.
