The parking / pickup area has in excess of 190 parking bays which are available to Ridesharing schemes, other ground transport operators and the general public. Parking is supplemented by an air-conditioned customer waiting lounge.
Uber driver-partners may only use the non-reserved parking bays (as sign-posted) to conduct a customer pickup transportation service.
