MELAKA: The Melaka Historic City Council (MBMB) will implement a fully digital parking payment system throughout its administrative area from Jan 1.
Mayor Datuk Shadan Othman said the cashless payment system, through the Melaka Smart Parking application, will involve a total of 14,000 vehicle bays.
"The use of this digital system is to make it easier for the public to make payments.
"Users can also extend their parking duration according to the fixed rates as well as top up credit online," he told reporters after a briefing with parking coupon sales agents here on Wednesday (Oct 9).
"However, existing scratch coupons can still be used until Dec 31 this year in all MBMB areas," he added.
Shadan said his team will also put up signs to inform the public about the use of the new method in all the areas involved, and provide QR codes to make it easier for users to download the application.
"Users can download the Melaka Smart Parking application on the Google Play Store (Android users) while iOS users may visit https://melakasmartparking.mbmb.gov.my/ to replace the old SVP Smart app.
"Credit balance in the old app will be automatically transferred after they register the new Melaka Smart Parking app with their previous user ID," he added. – Bernama
