From the article:
Visitors to Regina’s downtown will no longer have the option of digging for change to plug the parking meter.
The City of Regina is shifting to digital-only parking payment as of next week, effective Sunday March 1.
Downtown meters will no longer accept coins to pay for on-street parking. Instead, residents must pay electronically using the PayByPhone smartphone app, online at PayByPhone.com or by calling 1-888-680-7275.
“Use this smartphone app” –> requires a smartphone “Use this website” –> requires a smartphone “Or call this phone number” –> requires a phone
I do not own a smartphone / cell phone / mobile phone. How the hell am I supposed to pay for downtown parking, which I have to half a dozen times per month?
“Just get a cell phone” is NOT an acceptable response, FWIW.
