A motorcyclist was left fuming after receiving two fines in a major city's CBD as he claimed parking inspectors were trying to drive riders out of town.
The biker believes that the Brisbane City Council has intensified efforts to fine riders after he copped two fines in Brisbane's CBD despite never having previously received one.
He revealed one fine was written on on March 8 for having his foot stand parked just three centimetres over a white line and the other was last year for parking in a free space that had its signage changed the day after.
It comes after 40 motorcycle parking spaces were removed to make way for construction on the new Star Casino on the Brisbane River.
The Brisbane City Council attempted to attract people back into the CBD in February, 2021 by removing metered parking and halving the fees to use the council's parking garages.
