One-hour parking system to be extended in Subang jaya areas
SUBANG JAYA: After implementing the new one-hour parking system in USJ Taipan, the Subang Jaya Municipal Council is considering extending it to other commercial areas.
The rate is 50 sen for one hour and motorists will have to top up the same amount for another hour.
“We are considering introducing this system in SS15 and Puchong, particularly in Bandar Puteri and Puchong.
Extending it is no problem,” said council president Datuk Adnan Md Ikshan of the new system introduced in January.
Meanwhile, councillor Rajiv Rishyakaran explained that the system is designed to allow the public the opportunity to find parking space to run their errands, instead of the bays being hogged by those working in the commercial area or even the business community, as is often the case.
With this one-hour parking system, the office workers and business community will be encouraged to park in the multi-storey car parks instead.
“This is to ease congestion and provide convenience to residents,” said Rajiv.
“Petaling Jaya areas like SS2 and Damansara Uptown should consider implementing the system as these areas are very busy too.”
