Legal parking: Where I work, the parking rate is at 30 SEK an hour. Five days a week, 10 hours a day gives 78 000 SEK a year. Red days and vacation is compensated by overtime. A couple of nights a week I park the car on the evening, maybe for 4 hours in average and at an average cost of 15 SEK an hour. That’s another 6 240 SEK a year. Two to three times a month I park the car overnight, about 10 hours each time and an average cost of 10 SEK something. Add 2 400 SEK a year. Yearly cost: 85 640 SEK a year.
Illegal parking: In average, I get maybe 4 parking tickets a month. Most of them are for 425 or 450 SEK. Some are for 700 SEK. A few are for 300 SEK or 1000 SEK. Let’s say the average is about 500 SEK. That makes 24 000 SEK a year.
The system is broken.
