The new parking meters that will regulate the parking in Cartagena will start operating in different parts of the city from Monday, December 23.
These new machines have a new virtual wallet service that will allow users to manage their money and recover the amount of time not consumed, as well as recharge their ticket anywhere in the city, without having to return to the place in the Your car is parked.
Thus, the new parking meters allow you to manage a virtual wallet based on the vehicle registration.
In this way, the user will be able to recover that amount of money from the time not consumed during their parking using the license plate as the ticket identifier on the same machine.
On the other hand, it will no longer be necessary to move to the place where the vehicle is parked.
It can be recharged at any parking meter, which will issue a virtual ticket.
In addition, the new payment with a bank card is also included, which adds more convenience for Cartagena and visitors, who will no longer have the obligation to pay with coins, and will have a new fast and secure system.
This is a new commitment of the Department of Public Road of the City of Cartagena, directed by Juan Pedro Torralba, to offer new facilities to drivers who park their vehicles in the green and blue areas in Cartagena.
Thus, the mayor has stressed that all the functions of the new parking meters "are developed on a touch screen, practical and easy to use."
The first machines have been installed in the area of Alameda and Calle del Parque, although in these first days the old ones will be operative “to facilitate their use” to the neighbors and visitors who park in these areas, since they can use some and others interchangeably.
