TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Taipei City will give a discount of 20 percent for drivers who park their vehicle in 44 spaces across the capital using electronic means such as smartphone apps or EasyCards to pay, reports said Thursday.
The campaign is meant to promote paperless and cashless transactions, the Liberty Times reported.
Under the existing system, a parking attendant will make a round of the block and fix a paper with the details of the parking fee to the car’s windshield, with the driver supposed to pay the fee at a convenience store of bank.
Taipei City wants sensitive camera equipment to record when a car starts occupying a space, but during the test period, a student is likely to help the driver download the necessary app and explain the new procedure. [FULL STORY]
