035_coupon parking


There are two types of short-term parking in Singapore, coupon parking and electronic parking system. Parking coupons can be purchased from post office, 7-eleven and some other appointed sales outlets. There are several of different denominations but the common ones are $0.50, $1.00 and $2.00. Motorists are required to display coupons at prominent location in their vehicles for checking. The tabs on each coupon will have to be torn off to indicate date and commencement time of parking. Parking rates are varied by location. Hourly charges are $1.00 per half hour in restricted zone and $0.50 per half hour outside the zone. This car in the picture was parked in restricted zone. Mathematically, it’s obvious that the owner planned to hang around for 7 hours.
