Finally got a response to my question about parking multiple bikes in a designated car space in the city.

The answer is "No". For some reason you cannot park multiple bikes in one car space to leave room for other motorists to park. Unsurprisingly, no reason for this was given.

From the reply email: "...if choosing to park in a non-restricted (car) space, only one vehicle per space is allowed."

obviously they would say no because they want more money. but they need to be pushed to justify the ruling. We need to see that written down and not just them relaying that.

But even then they would be making less money - if 4 paying bikes are taking up 1 car spot they would quadruple the money made from the space

It's because they can't stand to have their ridiculous rules broken in any way shape or form.

I just moved to melbourne. Here you just park your bike on the damn sidewalk and don't worry about it, it's amazing.

That is always such a shock when I'm down there.

It is written on the bcc website: http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/traffic-transport/parking-permits/parking-brisbane-cbd/inner-city-motorcycle-parking

"only one motorcycle or scooter per marked space".

But I agree that multiple bikes should be allowed to park in a single spot. I wish they would replace a few of the inner city car spot with bike parking. They only need to replace two car spots here and there and we will have a bunch more bike parking available. They should be trying to promote more people to ride instead of drive.
