Visitor & Driver Tips

For the best experience, we recommend arriving at least 20 minutes before your scheduled train departure, especially during weekday peak hours. If you are visiting for a major local event, consider pre-booking your space if such services are available through official channels to ensure entry during high-demand periods. Always keep your parking ticket in a safe place inside your vehicle if required for exit, or utilize the mobile payment app if available to bypass the physical pay stations.
