I agree, for the most part, but as others have said, parking "legally" can be quite impossible for many. I can understand private parking and stuff, but there is really no excuse for having non-digital parking systems in the 21st century. I hardly ever carry cash, much less coins, so I have zero tolerance and respect for systems that literally nickel-and-dime me. I gladly take my credit card out and pay for parking in the downtown area of my city, because I know I'm not "entitled" to park there. However, a customer willing and technically able to give money (i.e., a person who has the money, but not the form of currency that the parking meter takes) should not be ticketed simple because they do not carry cash. I have qualms with even digital systems too. The one in my downtown area is digital, but you still have to pre-pay for parking. Sometimes I don't know how long I'm going to be at a place, and it's ridiculous to expect people to come down from the top floor of a 6 story building just to "add more" money to a digital parking meter. Why not sign in once when you park, and sign out once when you leave, and just pay for the time you are there? Anyway, that's my rant.
