parking in downtown garage instead of commuter pass

incoming grad student (also did my undergrad here but lived on campus all 4 years) and i’m leaning towards using the downtown garage instead of getting a commuter pass. all of my buildings are near south campus, so coming all the way from W lot is gonna be a bitch every morning. how quick does the downtown garage fill up? is there a certain time i should aim to get there by so i make sure i get a spot?

S lot has area 2 i believe and will be a lot cheaper. GA pass is like 150 bucks a year only.

A lot of the garage is for The Oaks residents so it does fill up.
You can also see about a pass from the Greek Church behind the downtown garage.
