Town Tools builds free, public tools for Banff and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Parking in downtown Banff isn't cheap in summer — $12 an hour in the core. But the Train Station lot is free, and it's only about an 8-minute walk in. Tell the tool how long you're staying and how many of you are in the car, and it shows the cheapest way to park.
The figures are the Town of Banff's published rates. Banff residents with a permit park free for the first 3 hours downtown — and Roam transit is fare-free for residents.
