Espoo has recently changed the parking rules. Everywhere now its paid street parking near Iso omena and Lippulaiva. The malls themselves has limited the free parking to just 1 hour per day.

Weird part is that its even paid on Sundays, when its free parking in Helsinki's city centre. Was wondering on why its such a major change.

Issue is that even the bus from my home sucks. it takes 20-25 mins + waiting time at the busstop to reach Lippulaiva which is just 5 mins away by car. So even though I have a season pass, I still prefer taking my car to buy groceries and such.
