The Roads and Transport
Authority, RTA, in Dubai has announced that 124,466 customers have downloaded
the Smart Parking App during the first half of 2015, and that 283,703
transactions were made using the app during the same period.
The Smart Parking App
provides a host of services which can save motorists time and effort, including
paying parking fees using a credit card or via text message and an automatic
identification of the parking Zone Code. The app can also indicate vacant
parking slots within the RTA's multi-level parking terminals, and free parking
spaces at the Dubai Mall.
"Transactions of
the Smart Parking App have almost reached 284,000 transactions, comprising
261,126 e-parking tickets via smart phones, 22,577 transactions of recharging the
parking wallet, and 124,500 downloads on smart phones. Such figures reflect
that the app has lived up to its billing in fulfilling customer needs, given
the rising public need for user-friendly technological means in handling
parking services," said Adel Al Marzooki, Director of Parking, RTA’s
Traffic and Roads Agency.
The authority said that
the service is part of RTA’s keenness to introduce smart services coherent with
the Dubai Government’s drive to transform the emirate into the smartest city in
the world in three years, and in line with the government’s Smart City
initiative. –End-
