- Parked from 11am to 435pm and was charged $25! Outrageous!! The rates make no sense. Free the first three hours, then $5 over 3 hours, $7 over 4 hours, but it jumps to $25 if you stay over 5 hours. That's crazy! I was there frequenting four businesses. I almost regret stopping in that last store to look at shoes before heading to the car. The last thing merchants want are people looking at their watches for fear they will go over the reasonable parking fees. My guess is they are trying to discourage BART riders from using the lot?! However, I personally will never make the mistake of shopping over four hours while parked there again.
