Clear about the data
ParkRide Planner keeps them separate, so you can see what is happening now, what usually happens and how much data supports the answer.
Live
See current spaces, total capacity, whether the car park is practically full and when the data was last updated.
Typical
See when recent matching weekdays became tight. If there is enough school-holiday history, the app shows that separately.
Expected
Compare how quickly today's spaces are falling with the usual pattern. It is an estimate, not a promise.
