Car parks remain free

CAR parks at railway stations are not about to become userpays places.
Claims that the State Government was planning to introduce a $2 charge for parking at Pakenham and other local stations have been dismissed by state Transport Minister Peter Batchelor.
“The Bracks Government made a wellpublicised policy decision in late 2005 to abandon the secure car parking option, and to keep parking at all stations free for genuine public transport users,” Mr Batchelor said.
