The whole concept of "allotted time" is a scam anyways. Sure, it made sense with analog pre-paid parking meters, but it's complete nonsense when you are modernizing it like this.
Billing the actual parking time down to the minute is pretty trivial, so having to reserve a specific time means they are intentionally trying to defraud you by either a) making you pay for time you won't use, or b) fining you for not reserving enough time.
- JKCalhoun 3y agoLove how when someone overpaid in coins the next one parking there could take advantage of it while now the payment is instead tied to your license plate. Actually, I don't love it at all.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoRemember the altruistic folks who would feed expired meters and such? Good times.
- mikeryan 3y agoIn downtown Santa Cruz the only way you can pay is by the minute via ParkMobile I believe. I always forget to stop the timer when I get back to the car and pay the Max so I hate it. YMMV Maybe it’s me but I prefer the allotted time. I only regret that when paying at a meter at least if I have excess someone else can use it.
