I once parked at a lot that they monitored and got a ticket for parking longer than the max 3 hours. Luckily I had bought something right when I arrived and right when I left so I had some receipts to check for times. Turns out I was only there for max 2 hrs & 45 mins. If I didn't have the receipts I would've paid the darn thing because I didn't actually have a clue how long I had parked for. Then the ultimate revelation: imperial/impark etc operate with an ILLEGAL tactic to randomly issue tickets to cars who are CLOSE to expiry in hopes that the car owners will trust the authority and pay those stupid things. They are NOT THE POLICE so don't be scared. I called them up and scowled about my situation and they canceled the ticket immediately when I told them I had receipts and witnesses to prove my length of stay. When I pursued the issue further saying that what they were was ILLEGAL and FRADULENT, the girl started to stutter and lose confidence, indicating to me that she knew something shady was going on.

The 10 feet tall letters RIVER ROCK CASINO AND RESORT are visible from the train when approaching the station, so one would expect you to be able to figure out the station leads to River Rock. The convention has always been name stations after roads. It would be pretty weird to name the station after a nearby business. It has nothing to do with political sensitivity.

Finally we found one, paid the $2 and caught the train, only to come back to our car with a parking ticket on it! The ticket claims to have been written 5 minutes after we bought the ticket and said our ticket was expired!! What kind of f'in morons to they have writing parking tickets. You can't do the math on the date? Let me break it down for you idiots, if the date on the parking stub matches tomorrow's date, then don't write a flippin' ticket. The parking hasn't expired, ultimate morons. My one and only time parking at River Rock Casio, we drove around and around trying to find a spot.

I FOLLOWED THE WEB SITE AND GPS DIRECTIONS TO 8888 RIVER ROAD AND SAW THE SIGNAGE FOR THE THE PARK AND RIDE LOT AND CASINO. THE GATE WAS OPEN AND WE COULD FIND NO METER TO PAY THE EXPECTED $2 PER THE CANADA LINE WEBSITE. WE DID SEE SOME SIGNS POINTING TO THE FAR(NORTH/EAST?) END ON SOME FLOORS BUT NOTHING ON THE SOUTH/WEST? END. I DROVE TO AN UNMARKED STALL ON THE WEST/SOUTH END AND PARKED ON THE 6TH FLOOR, WENT LOOKING FOR SOME SORT OF TICKET METER, AND FINDING NONE, WALKED DOWN TO CATCH THE CANADA LINE WITH MY OLYMPIC HOCKEY TICKET IN HAND. HAD A GREAT TIME IN VANCOUVER AND PROBABLY SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY. CAUGHT THE CANADA LINE BACK TO BRIDGEPORT STATION TO DRIVE HOME THAT EVENING---ONLY TO FIND A PARKING TICKET FOR $48 FROM IMPERIAL PARKING CANADA CORP! THE TICKET SAID "PARKING RECEIPT EXPIRED" FOR STALL #1081. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? $48 IS A BIG JUMP FOR A $2 EXPECTED CHARGE WITH NO GATE, METERS, SPECIFIC SIGNING, OR STALL # THAST I COULD SEE. PLEASE HELP. THANKS. HI, I BORROWED A FRIEND’S CAR AND DROVE TO THE WINTER OLYMPICS LAST THURSDAY(FEB18TH) FOR THE DAY.
