Parking and ride-hailing costs in Vancouver are climbing for those coming to see Taylor Swift's three concerts in Vancouver this week.
Parking fees next to B-C Place have rocketed to more than 150 dollars on each of Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, while the cost of a short ride to the stadium with Uber has quadrupled on concert nights.
Taking an Uber for the 1.3 kilometre trip from the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre to B-C Place costs less than 10 dollars on a standard weekday afternoon.
The rideshare's app shows that scheduling an Uber for the same trip a few hours before the first concert on Friday already comes in at more than 41 dollars.
Transport operator TransLink says it will provide extra bus, SkyTrain and SeaBus services on concert nights to cope with the demands of an expected 160,000 Swift fans attending the sold-out final shows of her record-breaking Eras Tour.
