SG: New Season Parking Scheme for motorcycles
The HDB and URA have announced that a new Concessionary Season Parking Ticket for Motorcycles (CSPT) will be introduced. The scheme, which was operational since yesterday, would enable ticket holders to park at all HDB and URA car parks for the entire day for just S$20 a month.
If you are a motorcyclist and happen to have an existing HDB Season Parking Ticket, topping up your current ticket by just S$3 for surface car parks, and S$5 for covered car parks, will allow you to enjoy the revised privileges. To be eligible for the CSPT, motorcyclists must be an HDB resident, have a valid HDB motorcycle Season Parking Ticket, and must own a Singapore-registered motorcycle.
CSPT holders will only be allowed to park in the white lots of HDB car parks, which they are not registered in, to ensure residents get first priority. The new pass can be purchased via HDB’s e-Services or at HDB Branches.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
