i also never use tng for shopping mall parking (although i have rm1.5k in my tng). reasons:
1) parking using tng have additional service charge of 10%+gst
- we paid/reloaded in advance into our tng card (even some places charge reloading service fee of 50 cents+gst)
- we don't get interest for the money we deposited/maintaining in the card
- and we still need to fork out extra service charge of 10%+gst when using it at parking??
2) we get lesser time as we can only scan when we reach the exiting gate
- using ticket can get extra 20-30min after payment, from your original timing. for eg. rm1/hr parking, using ticket you pay rm1 for 1hr shopping experience. once you paid, you get additional 20-30min for you to go to your car + packing things to your car + car exiting the place.
- using tng get lesser 20-30min from your original timing. for eg. rm1/hr parking, using tng you pay rm1.16 for only 30-40min shopping experience because you need 20-30min to go to your car + packing things to your car + car exiting the place. if you are really unlucky, you may be charged another rm1.16 for the second hour if you arrive the exiting gate 1min later.
Totally support your idea.... my thoughts exactly. TnG suppose to "encourage" but turn out to discourage smart people like you and me.
