"As if to keep with the stupendous growth in vehicle numbers, the cost of parking has also gone up by 50 percent for all vehicles. It now costs Nu.5 to park for 15 minutes up from Nu. 5 for 30 minutes. The change came into effect from July1. For two wheelers the fee is Nu.2 per 15 minutes and Nu. 10 for heavy vehicles.”

Before it cost Nu. 5 for 30 minutes parking. Now it costs Nu. 10, and acording to kuensel this is increase of 50%. Last I remember from my maths, this is a 100% hike!  Is this deliberately done to soften blow? And isn’t this bit too much?

well i think the hike of 100% parking fee is something......we were enjoying the free parking till sometimes ago.....but still when they charged 5 bucks for 30 mins....i did grumble for sometime but when i saw my friend who did class 12 with me as a parking fee collector i was happy coz at least he was earning something regardless of how he earns...he was still earning......but now when it is 5 bucks for 15 mins i think that is too very much....i heard that some of the parking fee collector earns 10 - 15000 a month well that is higher than a gradutes pay....i myself earn roughly about 10,000 with all the deductions.....

Well, sangpola, nice one but it would have been better if you could have posted this thing in Kuenselonline forum..anyways....I think Kuensel personals, lacks in mathematical conduction.

ALL ENGLISH AND DZONGKHA BUT NO MATH.

I hope kuensel did not publish this news online if not other countries will laugh on Bhutan’s Media Operators.
