Yes it's a lifetime estimate, from here: https://www.parkhound.com.au/blog/australian-drivers-spend-o.... Extremely misleading quote from the Uber person, probably intentionally.

Also basically a made-up number, a website that helps people find parking asked 300 people "how long do you feel like you spend looking for parking on average".

> a website that helps people find parking

indeed, that's a very biased sample. i've been happily living in a big australian city for over a decade without owning a car or using uber. i spend approximately 0 hours looking for parking per decade. they're never going to find me in the population of parking-seekers that they're surveying.
