Logan parking costs may soar

Logan parking costs may soar

In the same month that Logan International Airport hiked its parking rates by $1, Governor Deval Patrick is asking for another $2 parking "carbon fee" as part of his transportation overhaul filed this week.

The carbon fee, described on page 137 of Patrick's 141-page bill, would that mean a 20- or 30-minute trip to pick up a relative at Logan could cost $6 in parking alone, not including tunnel tolls, which could rise to as much as $7 if legislators fail to pass Patrick's other proposal to raise the gas tax. Three hours in a Logan garage would cost $18; all-day parking in a garage would run $26.

Way to drive up tourism and bring in business traffic....make it more expensive to be there.  Idiots.

Higher taxes and fees are good for the economy..........if you're sucking the gummint tit.

Christ, it's already $24/day.  I take a shuttle bus from Dover or Portsmouth to Logan in only about 15-20 minutes longer than it takes me to drive myself for $43 round trip.

Go ahead, Deville--keep screwing your state over.  Jack up those taxes, buddy!  Just give us a couple of days so we can seal the border first.

Sincerely,
New Hampshire.
