I remember as a kid going over a friend's house and seeing the quarters lined up on the table. His parents were both nurses and had to pay to park at the hospital. I don't remember the amount at the time, just being in awe at how much they spent just to park where they worked.
They usually worked on different schedules too, so that's separate parking.
One of the big Boston hospitals tried to recruit me for their transplant team once. They wanted to pay me $15,000/year LESS for the privilege of commuting into Boston five days a week and paying for my own parking. Fuck that noise. I'll stay at my little community hospital, thanks. Prestige ain't gonna pay my mortgage.
The big university hospital that I work at charges $200 a month for employee parking, including for the people working near minimum wage.
Doctors park free in designated spots that are closer than patient parking.
Fucken MGH innit.
ding ding ding We have a winner! How did you know? 😑
Of course, at the rate they're consolidating, we're all gonna be working for MGH soon enough.
Boston does have the MBTA.
Although hospitals run 24/7, and the T doesn't. And even when it's running, sometimes it isn't, because there's a train broken down. Or on fire. Or both.
The Commuter Rail is notoriously as expensive as parking
At my last job it cost $22-$26 per day to park, depending on which parking garage had availability.
