Those who used the automated facility were in for a pleasant surprise The Greater Chennai Corporation’s seven-storey multi-level car park in T. Nagar began functioning on Friday.
Located at the Theagaraya Road-Thanikachalam Road junction, the facility evoked poor response from vehicle users, including two-wheeler riders who preferred to park on the street.
With the civic body keeping it a low-key affair, there seemed to be lack of awareness about the facility being thrown open to the public. Even a parking attendant in Panagal Park was unaware of it. A scooterist, who parked his vehicle in front of the Pondy Bazaar police station, said, “I have work on this side of the road. I would rather park here.”
