Mr. Nguyen Duc Tuan (39 years old, Cua Nam ward) said that he used to park his car near his house for convenience. However, when parking fees increased, his family was forced to find a parking spot further away to reduce costs.

"Parking further from home saves money, but it takes more time. On rainy days, when I come home late, or when I have unexpected errands, retrieving my car is more inconvenient. Choosing a parking spot closer to home is more expensive, so I have to weigh the cost against the convenience of my daily life," Mr. Tuan shared.
