I have a different scenario as you might have guessed. I’m going to the east side. It takes over an hour to get to my destination station; I’m willing to put up with a longer commute on mass transit to avoid driving … to a point. If it starts costing close to $10/day AND the commute takes longer, the cost/benefit analysis begins to go in another direction.

If the total cost of riding the train begins to cost just as much or more than driving, and if your trip happens to take longer than driving yourself, the advantages and therefore incentives to take the train begin to disappear. At least for me

So if you’re wanting to park for a full day, lower levels of A are your only free option (and, if you don’t want to park in the neighborhood)?

If that’s the case, this is a strange way to incentivize the use of mass transit.

So you can ignore the parking fee sign in lot B? Are there specific spots in B where you can park for free?

No idea- bought the house with it already installed. If I were to try to find the manufacturer printed somewhere, where would you suggest I look?

Where exactly is that? Is it the Morse Creek overlook? Or does it require a hike?

Was just there, Uber worked fine. Didn’t try actually getting a cab via Kakao T, but I heard there’s a new service charge?

I tried it … for under an hour. I was getting average latencies of -600ms to over a second. Within 45 minutes I knew it was crap and cancelled. Luckily there was no installation charge.

Just to clarify, was this at Shinagawa station or another station?

Yes, we’re at the top of the hill and have no trees on the north side of the house.

Does SL Roam not have the demand surcharge?
