WINS says…
Baseball fans may be able to afford the high prices, but regular commuters are furious with the hikes at the Roosevelt Avenue lot.
“It’s unbelievable…you just eliminated a commuter parking lot…this isn’t promoting mass transit,” a commuter tells 1010 WINS.
The parking rates are hiked on game days to $18 or the “event” rate; these hikes go into effect at 3 a.m. for day games and at 9:30 a.m. for night games. On “non-event” days the parking rate is $4.
On days when there is a sell-out crowd or for “big” games the “event” rate is in play all day.
The Mets say they have received complaints from commuters and are now re-evaluating the 9:30 a.m. start time for the night game “event” rate.
My take, it should always be $4 to park anyway.
I work in the bus depot there and they shut us out GREEDY A$$HOLES
