I don't believe this for a second. A huge municipal facility like this - where all transactions are in cash? Someone is going to be profiting in a big way!

When you think about it, saying that the building is not intended to make money is almost the setup for a perfect scam. Nobody will bat an eye when the daily take comes up short.

What an eyesore! Seems to me they have the car to moto ratios reversed.

What an eyesore!

yes even more so considering that they ripped up a nice park where they used to have nice events like these.

agree on the ratio, but bikers are going to park anywhere anyway...

About time for some "Planning Gain" no planning permission without substantial car parking well in excess of requirements anywhere west of the Sukhumvit.

I can't see how they will fit 410 cars, 37 buses and 100 motorbikes in there unless it extends underground too

maybe thats why it took so long to build.

I think the motor bikes will all park out front like this lot.

I have never seen such chaos with the traffic as there was in this area of Bali Hai pier today.

Walking Street was almost a car park in itself and the traffic coming down the hill from near the overpass stretched all the way to the junction and simply wasn't moving anywhere.

The sooner this monstrosity it up and running at least hopefully it will help alleviate these kinds of problems

yes but don't forget there won't be any ramps and lanes as in a normal carpark .

On the inside, it will look more like lockers

Well according to this earlier thread it was meant to open last November

and each car must be shorter than 5.2 meters long, 1.9 meters tall and weigh no more than 2.3 tons. So are they going to have someone with a tape measure and a calculator standing at the entrance?

And I hope there won't be too many customers with a Rolls-Royce Phantom (which is considerably heavier than that) turning up because that will really cause chaos in the system

There is what looks like a weight width and height measuring station at the entrance.

I certainly wouldn't park my Rolls-Royce there (not that I have one to park anywhere )

Really wonder why they built this shxt ?!

[ARGUSEYE]

What kind of reporting is this? Not a word about the fact that this would be a year late!!

Besides the fact that their pathetic "Marina" will not be functioning unless a major re - design will take place. It is falling apart before it opens.

Rediculous!

To be blunt ,it was better before.
