Everyday there are cars taking up these spots without the proper passes and Go/Metrolinx does nothing about it.

Just wanting to get this rant out of me, here is a picture of the Nissan and BMW, both illegally parking like douches without commuter passes, hogging up the spots.
They generally don’t bother with spot-checks and instead respond to complaints. They only ticket for egregious parking infractions that they may notice while on patrol. Checking for stickers not so much.

“If you see someone else parking in a carpool parking space before 9:30 am without a permit or without at least one passenger, call Transit Safety Dispatch at 1-877-297-0642”

I’ve called in the past when I used to have a reserved spot and found someone else parked in my spot. I’ve also called and reported people parking illegally. Several times I was able to confirm that the offender did indeed get a ticket when I checked on my way home!

Give them a call next time you see this again, especially if they’re parked over the lines like the selfish idiots that they are!

I would lose my mind if someone was parking in my reserved spot that I was paying for - tow truck

Apparently both xtrail and S class are EVs, or maybe they offered a plug in hybrid versions)

Didn’t happen often, but was such a pain when it did. Used to have the reserved spot when I didn’t start until 9:00 am and the Oakville lot would be pretty much full well before 8:00 am.

So, if I got there and found a jerk in my spot it meant that I had to relocate to the Kiss ‘n Ride area and grab a spot and then go into the station to report the issue so the jerk would get a ticket and so I wouldn’t get a ticket by parking in the Kiss ‘n Ride. Eventually they allowed a phone report so you wouldn’t have to go inside and see a rep. Either way, it usually meant missing my train and being late for work! Grrr. Totally pissed me off for the whole day.

Eventually gave it up as I now start earlier + they added a parking garage at Oakville so getting a spot isn’t as crazy for me as it used to be a few years back.

Cool, didn't know that. However, this was s550 (no e) driven by senior, proudly displaying handicap sign on dash in ev parking spot. Diagonal parking too for the win :facepalm:

Volt owner was not much better though, parked but not charging.

There once was a photo circulating on RFD of a truck managing to occupy 4 spaces simultaneously in a parking lot.

The guy parked next to him looks no better.

Which reminds us - we've all had that situation where we've had to park over a line because it's the last spot and some **** can't park beside you, only to come back to the person having left and you looking like the **** that can't park... :lol:
