App-y to be the first smart parking state

The app will let drivers know if a parking lot is already occupied even before they head there.

SCRATCHING parking coupons will soon be a thing of the past as a smart parking system will soon replace the conventional coupon system at all council parking spaces in Penang.

The Penang Smart Parking System, which will be implemented in August this year, will see the use of a smart mobile phone application using e-wallet as its payment mechanism at 36,000 lots throughout Penang.
