Getting the best parking spot 29 September 2008

Last week I went to a conference at Sydney Convention Centre and when I walking back to my car I noticed these two car parks. They were right next to the lift – so were great parking spots.
In doing some research it seems that councils and businesses around Australia have taken the frustration out of finding a park for hybrid owners. In the US some shopping centres, and public buildings have introduced this – as well as a hybrid only traffic lane.
Good for the environment, and not bad PR for the hybrid car manufacturers.
Good spotting Catriona! I took a photo of exactually the same spots just a couple of weeks early. In the October edition of Trend Watching they have coined a term for this – Perkonomics http://www.trendwatching.com/briefing/
Now what will they do for those of us who ride motorcyles and have even less impact and are more green than the hybrid cars?
