I want to point out that the carparks revenues reduced recently, as economy worsen, the Singaporeans are GIVING UP CARS, in many carparks you can observe less cars and more empty parking lots. So they increase the parking fees to get the same revenues. They had also over spent in automation and upgrading carparks need to make us PAY for what they Squandered.

In many Multi-story, when you dive in at late night past mid night you are finding less cars now, Lesser now than 1 year ago. I used to have to drive up to LEVEL 5A or 5B at night in order to get a space to park, now at LEVEL 4A or 4B lots are all empty already.
