Majlis Perbandaran Kuching Selatan (MBKS)

Just know that he is our new Mayor :p (Source: mbks)

Item Quantity (pc) Price charged Price per coupon
20cents booklet 20 MYR 4.20 MYR 0.21
50cents booklet 8 MYR 4.20 MYR 0.53
80cents booklet 5 MYR 4.20 MYR 0.84





Finding: the difference if you put coupon and paying at the booth is minor. However, due to rounding to the nearest 5cents, for overparking notice of 53cents = 55cents and 84cents to 85cents. As long as you remember to put the first 20cents coupon, you are ok already.. Unless if you don't want pay overparking fine at the booth, you can put on as many coupons as you with. Condition is that the first half hour is 20cents, subsequent half hour is 50cents and every half hours subsequently 80cents coupon. They also penalize if you put the wrong coupon, eg. to use display 50cents coupon instead of the 20cents. This is quite strange.

I hope someday, they can have this daily usage coupon. They already have seasonal car park, but it is limited to certain places, eg. tourist spots.

It is so trouble some to just keep changing the coupon. This is because, most working people has to park at these areas. MBKS could argue that the intention is to indicate that the space is not meant for single person's use. But this has to have some sort of "adaptation". For instance, places of tourists spots, should put more car park spaces for public use as well as the working people, rather than to impose such troubles to the car owner. Unless they are expecting everyone and tourists go there by taxis or buses or on their feet. Should have thought of some way which makes the payer convenient.. Perhaps a smart card on the car screen?
