PARKING SHORTAGES IN MELBOURNE
THE HERALD SUN
LETTERS
CAR PARKING shortages have one main cause, single-occupant cars.
To ease the problem government and councils must encourage more
efficient, space-saving transport, especially in business districts.
Motorcycles, scooters and bicycles use far less space than a car. If
five lone drivers ride to work at least four car bays are available
for people who really need to use their cars.
Road authorities can encourage two-wheel transport by lowering costs
for riders, providing more centre-of-the-road and off-street bike
parking, encouraging traffic filtering and permitting motorcycles and
scooters to use bus lanes.
Simple logic.

Well this reports finally help me for correct analysis about shortage of parking in Melbourne. But we face this problems specially on weekends, cause everyone ready for shopping on weekend & parking space not afford a huge volume of cars at same time.

There are several ways to reduce the number of single-occupant, p-rivate cars on our roads. Making taxis, chauffeur and hire cars more accessible/availble will certainly help. Public transport, bicycles and motorcycles& scooters will help too.
