Ian Hecht 🇨🇦@pluralistic That would be amazing! Saskatoon, a city of around 250,000, has *four* different parking apps for depending on where in the city you park. It's infuriating...
rabble@ianhecht @pluralistic Wellington is the same, 4 apps. And they strongly push you to keep a balance on each one, changing extra if you just pay for what you need each time you park. Do they make their money on the float like Starbucks does?
Sam Easterby-Smith@rabble @ianhecht @pluralistic I’m going to be annoying and suggest that parking should involve as much pain, friction, expense, and personal data capture as possible… to discourage car use.

Steve Root@samsterby hahaha, I applaud the concept even though I need a car for most things (I train for long journeys if I can, it's a start)
@Sroot 🥰 nice. Trick is to minimise (in a systemic way) said “need” where possible. So I’d probably make your train station parking free, and plough money from parking everywhere else into public transport and active travel infrastructure 👍
