EDIT: I went to the elevators further down today(Friday). The ones that have no floor buttons on the inside ('cause you chose your floor beforehand). There are no ticket scanners there, so I had to go to the booth with an attendant. Got through with no issues. Attendant was about to hand me the cc reader, then realized, no charge.

For years, that was a free parking spot I'd use on weekends. Never weekdays or during rush hours though. I guess someone finally narc'd or bylaw noticed.

NVM, just checked it again........ prices look updated now. Fokkers!
$5.00 for 30 minutes is actually not bad for the area.

It's a bit of a trek to PC, but if you park under the courts, it's $3/h on the weekends iirc. I haven't been in a LONG time so I don't know if it's still that cheap. It's usually not busy and it's a best kept secret thing. If you drive all the way into the end of the parking lot, you come out of the UBC area/church thing behind the art gallery, out a side door.

My go-to parking lot as well, courtesy of A-RTD LOL.
My only concern about that lot is that it can be a bit sketchy - in the times that I've parked there, so I wouldn't park there for long.
If $5/30mins is cheap, I paid $25 to park at AWS, The Post for 12 hours LOL. It feels a lot safer for break-ins etc.

Not sure if it’s at all Sungiven locations, but the one near the Burnaby Golf Course / squint Lake has 2 hot item over rice for $5.00 off. $7.99. I’m not into it and don’t even know if it’s any good. Just an FYI.

Does anyone have a hack to get the last 5-10 ml of detergent out of those jugs? Bothers the hell out of me. I turn it upside down and still, they design in such a way that even if you let it sit upside down for hours, it still will not flow to the cap.
