    Need to go into the city for an event that starts at 530pm on a weekday and goes into the evening.

    Can’t drive in - car too big for car parks (had to sell the small car due to cost of living and my OG struggles with the city car parks so I have no chance), can’t get dropped off as OH is away on work, not sure if train station will have any car parks free at 4pm? Bus to train station would be a 4km walk each way, and not safe in the dark on the way home. A taxi/car service cost me $150 last time I had to go into the city (one way). Estranged from family, no help there.

    Fml. It’s a job related event, not for fun. It’s not run by my employer.

      I have a secure parking spot in Brunswick, if you want to drive here and take the 19 Tram into the city. I’m home all the time so I can let you in and out. Send me a DM if this may work for you :)

        No Ubers or taxis in the area. ~45km from cbd. Been a pain when dropping cars off for servicing or airport trips. Saves money on not having ubereats though.
