@Siff@mstdn.social I do get that they can be easier to work with - I know when I go into London on the train for an evening, I can pay for my parking at the station while on the train. Not huge, but I get it. I do think you should be able to pay with a card at least, in person. Ideally with cash too - but given that so many are "$3.20 for an hour, 4.43 for two hours" I can see that having the right change might be a pain. What annoys me most if that I have 4 different parking apps on my phone. Because every single place seems to have a different app needed. So even when I have installed and set up one, next time, I will need another one.
