I used the midterm on Wednesday for my free hour and had a problem finding a parking space, as it is not until I drove further away from the entrance that spaces started to appear.
When I was walking back to the entrance of the car park I did come across a set of empty parking bays opposite the entrance marked drop off that had hatched lines around them that were empty and unused. Can’t see a reason why in these early days why a car could not just sit there with a driver.
