Also doesn’t make sense. How can there both be a waiting list and their lots are the most expensive? Wouldn’t their competitors (private businesses) have raised their rates? If it’s true that there is a waiting list they should raise their rates until the waiting list disappears. This is one way in which government actually should operate (more) like a business.
Of course, this is in reference to monthly long term passes, not short term parking.
There is in fact, no private companies that I know of in Kitchener which offer competing services. Some private companies offer parking for their employees, but nobody offers long term parking for other people. In theory, if the value of such a service was high enough a private operator could provide it, but that isn't the case as of now.
