to be specific i am talking about Rawalpindi but you guys can share the situation in your cities as far as Rawalpindi is concerned you guys might have noticed that at college road and commercial market along with other areas as soon as you park your car there comes a guy running with a piece of paper and asks for rs 10,now the thing is that you never know that is he the right person to collect money for parking let alone the fact that you are not sure if it is implemented by authorities.I see a lot of people getting into fights with the fee collecting guy and according to those parking guys the contractor takes money by the end of day and he gets paid against the number of slips he issued that day and contractor gets the contract of the specific area against the bid he placed in auction but the thing is how would you know if the man you are paying your money to is the right one and if the whole contractor-authorities thing is transparent enough........On the other hand there are illegal mafias that are collecting money at places where authorities(cannt area) have not even implemented parking fee one famous location is beside Singapore plaza where one guy pops out of no where without even a slip and he even got busted multiple timesmeanwhile i found this online Illegal parking areas established in Commercial areas of Rawalpindi. - Free Online Library
Every area has a value. The most busy areas are in demand and these so called parking walas pay ' Thaikah ' to the higher ups. Illegal or not, I have no clue.
And yes, mafia controls some parking places.
