Got stuck in Gurney Plaza car park last Saturday. Worst kind of jam ever and the worst thing was that the traffic jam was in the car park itself. Can you imagine my friend and I got stuck in the exact spot for 45 mins? Unbelievable ya? After being stuck for so long, my friend and I gave up trying to follow the rules. We went against the traffic and went down from level 7 to level 6 via the going up lane. I know, I know it is illegal but then hey there’s no police to give any summon. So why not???

After we went down to level 6, we cut in the lane near to the parking ticket machine and slowly wait for our turn to insert our packing ticket in the machine. All those took us an hour plus. Just from 7th floor to 6th floor. Traffic were quite smooth after 6th floor.

What is the cause of the traffic jam?

• Incompetency of Gurney Plaza management in arranging for the security guard to handle the jam. Especially when opening the new wing, should make sure proper planning were done to avoid such jam from getting worst. 
• Only saw 1 security guard overall from level 7 to level 6 when the queue was so long and all cars were in the non moving situation.
• As the receipt card can only last for 30 mins, those who get stuck in the jam with their receipt card more than 30 mins will have to wait for the security guard to give clearance before the car were able to pass the automatic barrier. All that action took about 5 mins each.
• Only 1 way up and 1 way down even when they have extended the parking space. How not to get jam??? More input but no extra output !!!!

In fact I’m quite thankful for my friend’s quick action which enable us to finally went off Gurney Plaza in an hour plus. If not, I believed I might be stuck there for another hour or two just because of the management’s incompetency.

Hopefully, Gurney Plaza management will have a better planning in future. If not sooner or later there’ll be some article about Gurney Plaza’s bad management. Full blast in promoting bad image for Gurney Plaza… BAD NEWS !!!!!
