Lieve is a neighbor we would all like to have. So that her elderly neighbor Micheline can visit her family, the septuagenarian takes her regularly to Bokrijk station. And since the distance between the platform and the wagon is too big and too high for the grandmother, Lieve gives her a hand in order to get on the train. A gesture that could not be more human which costs him the price… of 5€.
But why? It is simply the cost she has to pay to park in the car park of said station. “I can also not pay, but if they check, I risk a big fine. A note behind the window is useless either: the controls are all automatic, through the recognition of license plates, ”laments the Belgian to HBVL.
Contacted, Optimal Parking Control indicates that it cannot make exceptions and that it is not possible to benefit from a free one-hour ticket to park in this car park. For its part, the municipal administration of Genk reacts: “The OPC’s answer is correct, but your reader’s criticism is also justified (…) At Genk station, we have the possibility of parking for free for short periods of time. periods. We want to make the situation in Bokrijk conform to this. We are going to discuss with the SNCB to find a solution”.
