neutral  Stephen Gobin: Wouldn't say "garage", though. It's a car park not a "garage".
13 hrs
  -> As this seems to be an underground car-park, I think you will find MANY ENS use the term "garage". Let's face it - they don't often waste building land today laying pay car-parks, do they...No, they hide them underground, and no bad thing...
agree  oa_xxx (X): but without garage - just pay booth

neutral  Stephen Gobin: I would avoid pay station unless the "Garagenkassa" is a self-service machine
1 hr
  -> That's exactly what I was referring to and also explained ..... In Germany/Austria you usually pay at a self-service maschine.
agree  oa_xxx (X): pay station or cashier booth.
