I’m not really sure how serious will the municipality be about obliging parking owners to abide by the set tariffs, but the chart will at least help you know whether you’re being ripped off or not!
let them start by Zaitouna Bay Parking!
Hello,
While this decree is set for the benefit of citizens, I can’t help but be convinced that a lot of parking owners will be taking advantage of this. You see I work in Corniche el Mazraa, which falls under the yellow zone, and the parking guy used to take 2,500LL which was kind of okay. However this decree was not established to make cheap parkings increase their fees, rather to make expensive ones decrease their irrational rates. However, to my surprise, today the parking guy tells me the fees have now doubled! Please someone explain to these illiterate idiots that these are the maximum allowed rates and not obligatory rates, i.e. he could keep the usual rate and wouldn’t get into any trouble..
Also if you guys know where one could complain .. thanks 🙂
