What a lousy reason to justify introduction of paid parking...so the government not encouraging healthy lifestyle anymore? Most of the visitors to the place in the morning are senior citizens, what abuse? I suppose those free parking in East Coast would be charge soon too?


No more free parking at MacRitchie
PUB says it's to prevent abuse by non-park users

The free parking enjoyed by visitors at the MacRitchie Reservoir multi-storey carpark will soon come to an end.

This is to prevent possible abuse, which may leave visitors to the reservoir short of parking space, said Mr Tan nguan Sen, PUB's Director of Catchment and Waterways.

Early morning joggers have on some occasions been unable to find space for their cars in the 300-lot carpark.

There are other ways to enforce the rule but I guess imposing a fee is the easiest way out - typical MIWs way of solving problem.

They could do a impose overnight parking charges and leave the day time free.
