(1) 534 infringements had been issued for failing to pay the $2 parking fee at train stations as at 10 September 2014.
(2) The Public Transport Authority does not capture this specific information however they have confirmed that 277 of these infringements have been withdrawn under appeal.
The majority of these infringements have been withdrawn due to the Public Transport Authority taking a lenient approach during the early implementation of paid parking and because a large percentage of the infringements issued were attributable to customer error. That is, incorrect information being provided by customers, or failure to activate the correct vehicle.
