Lets see how long that will last. I wont be accepting anymore of those request.....

 

[krlst]

Wow. That is some major BS.

 

[negeorgia]

Umm, yeah, this is not good. Sounds like a maybe they will, maybe they won't.

 

[2Cents]

It's only fair.
Pay to Play

 

[uberinatltrafficsux]

Don't accept those trips. Problem solved.

 

[Uber_Yota_916]

Buy a yearly pass for parking. Or tell the pax to walk to your car at the gate.

 

[krlst]

Or stay de heck away from Stone Mountain.

Think of how many fübrites will have to turn around at the gate when they find out they have to pay $5.00

 

[Chip Dawg]

Tell the pax to give you 5 dollars at the gate or drop them off at the gate. It's not my responsibility to carry spare cash for an entrance fee.

 

[rex jones]

Having never been to Stone Mountain, it kind of sounds like people are getting in under the guise of ride share.

 

[emdeplam]

Whats wrong with supporting a songbird path??? This is so much more than parking.

Think of the birds.

It's not, but how many McDrivers are going to know that?

After wasting $5 worth of gas trying to get in and then back out of Stone Mtn.

Just us.

Exactly. Make them cough up.

 

[Britishpilot]

Call the passenger first letting them know the policy before getting there. If they don't answer do what you do at a gated community wait for a cancelation.

Remember this is Georgia. If the airport can charge a fee for pickups, Stone Mountain has one upped them - they get their money for pickups and dropoffs!
Wonder how long before other businesses start doing it...

 

[troycarpenter]

Stone mountain just became the largest gated community in Atlanta...and it now charges a fee to get through that gate!

 

[PTCGUY]

Obviously many of you haven't much of a knowledge as to how the tax code works. Buy the annual pass and write it off as a business expense on your taxes. Case closed.

 

[Skozoze]

I can understand it for drop offs - at least then the passenger can pay the $5 since they're the ones coming in to enjoy the "amenities" of the park. I don't get it for pick ups - the person has already gotten admitted to the park; you're just taking them out of there. I've done pick ups at the park at the golf course and the resort. Guess I won't be anymore . . . Yes, I could get an annual pass, and yes, it's a write-off, but it's not a dollar-for-dollar write-off (in other words, if I spend $40 on a pass, I don't get $40 off my taxes). It's not worth it for a few trips a year. I sincerely doubt there is a rash of drivers saying they are with rideshare just to get in to the park - most people that go have multiple people with them.

 

[PTCGUY]

It only makes good fiscal sense for the park to charge rideshare and cabbies to enter the park. If they don't then the park is losing a revenue stream that they would normally have if folks drove themselves. Pay up or don't go and stop the whining. Life is all about pay to play.
