西班牙“排斥”小时费率(英文)
Hourly Rates "Out " in Spain

目前西班牙停车行业的一件大事，好像是一个关于废除按小时收费的判决，因为如果某人停车几分钟，而按照1个小时收取停车费，那是不公平的。如果我没理解错的话，现在的费率是每五分钟累加一次，但是这样并不会节省驾驶者的钱。经营者从每辆车上可以收到同样的回报，而那些停满一小时的人的停车费将增加20%。

The big issue in Spain at present seems to be a court decision that ruled out hourly tariffs on the grounds that it was unfair to charge someone for an hour's parking if they stayed only a few minutes. If I understand things correctly, tariffs now increase in five-minute steps, but far from saving drivers money, the operators have done the sums and now charge more per minute, so they still get the same return per car and the guy who genuinely parks for an hour pays about 20 percent more.
