Shove some loose change in the machine, take the ticket and put it on the dash, then leave the car park. What is hard about that, without giving data to third parties, etc?
Last week, a woman was fumbling on her phone to pay for parking on an app, then asked my partner if she had spare change? Cheek of it! I didn't pay for her parking, it's not my problem, but I put change in the machine for 4 hours, grabbed the ticket and walked back to my truck whilst she was trying to pay via an app.
They have roiled out all these apps and machines in Oz and I cannot for the life of me comprehend them.
Only 2 days ago while awaiting my disabled pass (I can hardly walk) to be renewed I tried to use one of those parking machines but it had grey writing on a green background. Absolute nightmare for those with dodgy vision.
