Ponsonby Rd paid parking now? bruh just tax the air we breathe at this point 💀
fr council out here trying to milk every last cent outta us
yeah nah this is dumb. parking was already a nightmare now they want our money too? businesses gonna suffer big time
Won't someone think of the poor inner-city landlords? Oh wait, they're the ones who wanted this. More money for them, screw the workers.
yep it's a goldmine for the landlords and council. everyone else just pays.
as if students can afford this lol guess I'll just never go to Ponsonby again

this. used to go after class but not anymore f that
Knew this was coming. Council needs cash but they're killing the vibe. Ponsonby used to be fun now it's just a paid carpark
Ha. I work in hospitality on Ponsonby Rd. Already seen tips drop since they trialled this. Owners are freaking. But nah, council knows best 🙄
exactly what I said. owners are already looking at closing earlier. but nah let's charge parking to save the planet or whatever
It's sad but people will adapt. Just hope the small businesses survive. Maybe they could do validation for customers?
lol validation. good luck getting them to agree. they want the coin
needa just take the bus apparently. easy for someone who doesn't actually go there 🙄
Typical. Auckland Council hates cars, hates businesses, hates anyone who doesn't live in a central city apartment. Get stuffed.
facts. they don't know what it's like needing a car for work
