Parking Fees in Switzerland many Swiss cities are a matter of concern due to their perceived high expenses. A price monitor, Stefan Meierhans, has conducted a comprehensive analysis to determine the justifiability of these fees. His calculations take into account various factors such as land costs, production costs, and management costs associated with parking spaces. He argues that parking fees should not generate profits, and that the current high fees cannot be justified based on the associated costs. He advocates for a reduction in parking fees within Swiss cities.

Meierhans’ cost model suggests that annual subscriptions exceeding 400 Swiss francs are deemed excessively high for long-term parkers, regardless of whether these fees are imposed in small towns or major metropolises like Zurich. He also criticizes the social implications of exorbitant parking fees, arguing that they are detrimental to the less affluent segments of society, as they tend to rely on public parking spaces. He urges authorities to reevaluate their parking fee structures to promote fairness.
