More people are using the parking now?

We can't compare to Saturdays before paid parking but according to the data we have usage has gone up week over week (except for zone H which dipped yesterday compared to prev Saturdays). Saturday usage is around the same as the preceding weekdays which I think is interesting.

I wonder now if there is somewhere(s) else with paid Saturday/weekend parking we could compare to

(And everything here is just based on looking at spaces used/available through the day which does not tell us anything about turnover)
