Worst are the apps that force you to “charge” a card with some ridiculous minimum even if you only ever would be in that city once. Who is going to track my balance 5 years from now when a different company is granted the rights to collect parking for the city? I’m guessing there has to be a hidden option to only “charge” the app for what you want to reserve the spot for, else this seems illegal, but then again the city may be giving itself these mob-style rights.
