Parking prices increase

Sun 18th Apr, 2010

Munich. On the first of May, the company "Park+Ride" will increase their prices for parking at 24 U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations in and around the Munich area.

Zehnerkarten purchased prior to the first of May will remain valid. A change many people have noticed: kiosk owners who sell parking tickets order a larger quantity than usual. An owner in Munichs West district, who sells around 50 tickets per month now ordered an additional 100. A kiosk owner in the south of Munich, usually orders 300 Zehnerkarten every two months, in April he ordered another 200 on top of his usual subscription. The price for the "Zehnerkarten" for fare stage 1 (the edge of the city), increases by 2 Euro to 6,50 Euro, for more central parking places the price changes from 9 Euro to 13 Euro.
