Well once the government subsidizes roads they proliferate it and becomes more difficult to exist without a car. Your example supports my argument.

>try using "Parkmobile" without a mobile phone.

I would never, ever try using "parkmobile"

That's a good call. They had a databreach[1]—and paid out 4x 25 cent in-app credits to the affected people.

My city's public parking lots, garages, and street parking use Parkmobile to collect payment, and AFAICT that kind of arrangement is not terribly unusual. I suppose anti-parkmobile drivers could stick to the few overpriced privately-owned lots in town, though.

If you're saying that you don't drive, then congrats, and I hope to catch up to you soon.
