Parking at Karawaci

Parking at Karawaci

It is a pity that the management of Supermal Karawaci does not
pay proper attention to automobile parking at this mall.

A long line of automobiles is often found waiting to enter the
mall in certain hours on weekdays and on weekends because the
several routes leading to the parking area all lead to one
entrance.

A similar long line of automobiles is also a common sight at
closing time. As a matter of fact, the management can guess that
most visitors will leave the mall around 9 p.m., the time when
most of the shops begin to close. Unfortunately, this outflow of
automobiles is concentrated only at one payment booth. In such a
situation, it takes an average of 15 minutes for each automobile
to get out of the parking area.

To facilitate parking at Supermal Karawaci, the management
should provide at least two entrances (for example by reopening
the south entrance to the parking area) and operate more payment
booths when the inflow and outflow of automobiles are bigger than
usual. A small survey would help the management get an idea of
the pattern of visitors to the mall. The mall is quite a
comfortable place to visit and could lure more people if every
car could get to the parking area comfortably, too.
