The other day, I had to visit Eco Space, the business complex on Outer Ring Road towards Whitefield. And what do I find myself into? A visitor’s parking lot that charges you by the hour. Whether it’s one hour or two hours, you have to pay Rs 20 for every 2 hours of parking. I spent 2.5 hours and had to shell out Rs 40, because that’s how they calculate. That’s Rs 3.75/minute of my usage. If every other company follows suit, it might eventually become more economical to hire an auto rather than go by your four-wheeler. Not only will it decongest the roads, the pollution levels will also be down. Not to mention, the driving stress!
