Isn't that the problem, so many different companies offering the service.


Yes, although it was six, but Parkmobile got bought up by RingGo. I
expect they will all eventually swallow each other up, and there'll just
be one !

You turn up somewhere new, have to download the app, register your
details and payment method and possibly having to remember yet another
username and password. This is assuming that you have a phone signal
at that location and its not somewhere in Wales in the shadow of those
hills.


Yes. In fact I seem to recall something on the news recently (well,
before March) where there was exactly that problem

Most car parks I've usedÂ* offer a contactless payment, in addition to
the app ?
