Nachdem die Metro jetzt gestartet ist, haben bereits zwei Malls ihre Drohung wahr gemacht und verlangen ab sofort Parkgebuehren. Darunter natuerlich die Mall of the Emirates aber auch das City Centre in Deira.

Zitat:Malls begin charging parking fees from today



Dubai: Mall of the Emirates and the Deira City Centre, two of Dubai's leading shopping malls which are attached to the Dubai Metro stations, will start charging for car parking beginning on Sunday.

However, the malls' management has adopted a relaxed approach to benefit mall visitors.

As part of the new scheme, parking will be free all day on Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays while the first four hours of parking will be free on weekdays.

Earlier, only three hours were free and there were no free days.

The parking management system was introduced by the malls in conjunction with the launch of the Metro in order to maintain a balance between giving their customers easy access to parking and deterring park and ride Metro users.

Shahram Shamsi, Senior Vice-President of Shopping Malls at Majid Al Futtaim Properties, said that the impact of the first few days of the Metro has been very encouraging for both malls and a sign that it will become the future backbone of transportation in the city.

Warum es nun aber am Wochenende kostenfrei bleibt ist mir ein Raetsel. Gerade dann ist es doch extrem voll. :/

Weiss jemand etwas ueber die Kosten?

Also immerhin zahlt man jetzt nur noch an den 'Werktagen' - von Sonntag bis Donnerstag - nach der 4. Stunde.

Ich bin in der Woche eher selten laenger als 4 Stunden in einer Shopping-Mall.
