[sustran] Re: Parking prices - more food for thought

[Wagner Armin GTZ 7021]

Dear Paul, dear all,
different context, different challenges and surely not always on the forefront of sustainability: Some figures from Europe. In 2008 we surveyed parking fees and bus fares in European capitals. Our graph depicts the highest on-street parking fee in the given city (per hour) and compares to a single bus fare. Looks ok for one ticket, but if you start to take the return trip in account...

(see attachment, data as of 2008, no data for the four cities on the right available)

Best regards
Armin



Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards,

Armin Wagner

I still want to respond to some of our parking discussions. Thanks everyone for the fascinating views.

But for now, here is a link to some more food for thought on parking prices.

Feedback welcome, here or in the comments at the blog.

All the best
