^ Driving is the most convenient for suburban locations... provided that you live in proximity to the office. As I pointed out before, this works fine for services that are aimed directly at individuals, but not so great for administrative offices or other operations where you only have one office.

I mean, yes, parking would probably be easier for people visiting Land Titles or the Department of Labour if they were located out in Inkster Industrial Park or wherever, but it would be more of a pain to get to. Why would downtown even exist if it weren't because it was the most convenient place for people to gather to conduct business and administer government functions?

And which downtown lots still require exact change? I use my credit card nearly all the time, and on those rare occasions where I pay cash (typically parkades), I can get change from the attendant's booth.
