extension of car park hours a problem?

Dear Editor,

I don’t own a car, but I do get to drive the family car. I study in the library during weekends thus park at carpark infront of Eusof Hall.

During weekends, not many cars are in that carpark. Even in the carpark infront of AS7 (which is charging at $0.08/min now), there are only a few cars. It is stated that “this revision will also enable more season parking passes to be made available for staff and students”
(http://www.nus.edu.sg/oed/services/csd/transportation/krcParking/index.htm)

Staff and students who apply season parking park in campus during working hours, thus I am unable to see how does the extension of operation hours help in this way. All in all, is the extension of hours during weekdays and charging during Saturday necessary and beneficial for NUS/NUS staff/NUS student?

Yours Sincerely,
