As one who has spent a considerable part of their life looking for parking spots in San Francisco - it will be challenging during busy hours to find more than 2-3 spots an hour. Which is the entire reason why this app is feasible - many people don't want to spend 20-30 minutes looking for a parking spot.
- crygin 13y agoFair, I'd love to see some hard data on this. I don't think I've ever spent more than ten minutes looking for a spot, though it's certainly seemed like a lot longer during the process itself.
- jamesaguilar 13y agoThis may be a stupid question, but why don't people drive in with a bike rack, park in a non-busy section a mile or two from the busy section, then bike to the busy section? It'd probably be faster, and healthier too.
- reality_czech 13y agoBikes get stolen quite a lot in SF, and the cops don't really make any effort to find them again. Also, the bike lanes are mostly really taxi lanes.
- ghshephard 13y agoThe alternative strategy of parking a three or four miles away and taking a taxi is pretty common in San Francisco. Sometimes we don't even look for a spot, and just park at the Sony Metreon Lot, and head across town.
