Parking is a bitch a BCIT. Try garden grove dr or westminister ave behind BCIT. Usually wesministet is filled with cars early in the morning so try to go as early as possible. Garden Grove has 2hour parking but I'm not sure how often they check and ticket people. Posted via RS Mobile | |

get a credit card,
and when you get it in the mail, dont activate it,
but use it anyway in the parking meters.
youl get free parking that way for a good month or 2 before they ban the cards number,
rinse repeat.
thats how I get free parking everywhere, I got free parking at bcit for a good solid year of juggling cards.
Unless they updated their booths and are now connected to the internet, then you cant do that,
but if its still those shitty yellow ones, then go for it

my friend used to empty those gift card credit cards you buy from safeway and use them until the number was banned..
but she said the parking machines were changed, so empty cards dont work anymore

I got my first parking ticket yesterday and I haven't been paying since september.. so far my savings outweighs the amount of this parking ticket which I probably won't even bother paying.

I knew a guy who did security across Willingdon and had a parking pass for that whole strip that is usually empty.

There are always parking spots on Moscrop across from the secondary school. Would probably only take you a 5-10 minute walk to campus.

Since I no longer enroll in Bcit I can tell you what we did. I took the Auto Collision course at 6:30 sharp in the morning. You will need a partner, pay for the spot and have your friend park in that paid stall, while with your ticket on your dash u can park anywhere else. Cut down half the cost since I had 4 days a week there(Pay 2 days each). Did that for a year.
** Also change your license plate after your 2nd ticket, cheaper that way.

All these people telling you to take the bus. Fuck that, you have a car for a reason.
When I went to BCIT, you just had to pay for the parking spot by entering it into the machine. If you are coming late at night you could just park in any spot, its most likely paid for.
Im assuming you are doing night classes since you are p/t going 2 hours a day. If you are going to school between 10-12, then you will most likely need to suck it up, or park nearby and walk.
Its a fucking ripoff. University parking should be free.
EDIT: If $4.50 is bad, stay away from UBC, 14$ a day.

yeah, 4.50/day is nothing compared to the prices of UBC/SFU
SFU rates are 3.25/hr to a maximum of $13

Rofl those prices are insane! And here I was thinking $4.50 a day is already pretty pricy.
What some people recommended in the other thread was to just park and not pay. After you get ticketed 3 or more times, change your license plate, rinse and repeat. I got ticketed only 3 times for the whole semester doing this and just sold my car later (upass came out the following semester). What I also did was park at the Moscrop parking lot when I'm not too lazy to walk. They don't care how long you park your car there for so don't worry, just don't park in the staff area.

Are there usually spots the whole day or just certain periods?

also i think finding parking is slim from 7am-12 since everyone starts class at that time and some people leave for lunch at 12. so at lunch it is the best time to steal there spot and usually they bought a ticket so free parking for rest of the day.
