Where Is It Safe To Park?

[myskyride]

hi all,

i am starting a new job this week at southbank. i am trying to figure out my options for commuting to work. i can either park my car at garden city and catch the bus or park at fruitgrove/runcorn/altandi train station (all theses stations are close to where i live) and take the train to work. how safe are these places to park my car for the whole day..? i was wondering if i could get your opinions from your experiences...

thanks in advance

Considering the areas all mentioned I would choose leave your car at home and ride bike to train/bus

Post up a pick of your car

+1 for bike to train-o

Kuraby MIGHT Be ok because they have that huge chain meshed carpark with CCTV that looks like arthur gorie. But its still a bit iffy cos I dunno if/when they lock it.

But if it was me, I wouldnt be able to help myself, I'd just drive to work

EDIT: Many a nice car has gone missing from garden city mate. But again, its all about where you park, alarm/immobliser etc/

Park at ANZ and catch the bus, so far of all the places to leave your car this is the only one where my wifes car hasn't been damaged.

Bus it I say. No matter where you park if its not undercover, nature will get you one day when you least expect by way of hail damage.

Quoted for truth - easiest way for any car to be written off unfortunately.

there are 1 or 2 places in South Brisbane with 'free' parking.

1 is under a building... I'm not goting to say exactly where (it's a smallish carpark), but I'd never pay for parking around the convention centre!

have a look around on the weekend. I'm sure you'll find a spot or 2.

get insurance and it doesn't matter where you park!

drive to sunnybank plaza (turn to 2nd access on your left after mccullough just after the bus stop heading towards the city) and park at the upper level of the carpark for free parking with a security guy stationed there.

then catch a bus to southbank.

Only if you have plenty of $$$ to keep paying excesses!

[Marcus89]

I park at garden city all the time due to the fact that i work there casually never had any issues

As if post on the net where you will park your car and leave it for how long. Please come and take my car................

You do realise you could get fined for commuter parking in a shopping centre right?

There are commuter parking spots at garden city but they fill up pretty bloody quick
