    In my experience, indigo parking is also accompanied by an indigo pay machine for exactly this purpose. It spits out a little ticket you put in your windshield.

    Idk about this case specifically, but their pay machines are all around Halifax.

      This was my first thought. Instead of an app and relying on a consuner to have the technology, why dont we put in a parking machine that can accept cards and cash?

        Everywhere I’ve seen indigo (or hotspot) around Halifax, they’ve supported both pay at a physical terminal, or pay via phone (which gives you extra features like feeding the meter remotely, or refunding unused time).

        Personally I think it’s a pretty good system.
