Can I give zero stars? Every time I go into a garage, I am pained. Poor layouts, bad attitudes, dirty looking lobbies... I could go on and on.
Yesterday, I spent 45 minutes trying to get out of a garage after a theatre event. I parked on level 5. You have to go all the way up before you can go back down. Grr.... When I get to the entrance, there are people standing there whose purpose is to take the ticket from my hand and put it in the machine. I mean, I appreciate the assistance and all, but is this really a job?
Today was free parking day. I thought that I might finally have something good to say about this parking system, but no. I sat in horrendous traffic only to find that its cause was the ticket machine and arm. It's free parking day - lock the arm in the up position and let the people park! What the heck. On the way out, there was yet another guy manning the ticket machine. What a waste!!
Get it together Pittsburgh. If you want to grow your downtown, offer free parking in the evening hours. People will spend more downtown if you make it easy for them.
