Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me... I only bought the permit once and after that took to parking on the streets. Yeah, then they declared no street parking for like a two mile radius of campus so I got lots of "portaging" in, then got to where I didn't even drive, I bicycled the 8 miles. Well my legs were in great shape and I saved a lot of $ on gas! |
It's even worse here, they'll sell 1200 permits for 1000 spaces, and if you don't have a permit, you can pay a daily rate to park (if you can find one).
On a side note, after looking through my account, my bus pass was free-well I was charged for it whether I use it or not.
