PETALING JAYA: Nearly RM40,000 worth of parking coupons in Selangor have been exchanged into digital credits in the Smart Selangor Parking (SSP) system.
State local government, public transport and new village development committee chairman Ng Sze Han said the amount involved some 57,000 coupons as of April 18.
“This (low) number is proof that many people have used up their coupons before the payment system went fully digital.
“Almost all of the feedback received so far indicated a positive reception to the move to digital method of payment,” he said after attending the Puchong Community Art Festival in Taman Wawasan, Puchong.
Starting April 1, motorists in Selangor could only pay for parking at public bays via the SSP app.
To ensure smooth transition to the new system, the state launched a campaign to allow users to exchange remaining coupons at their respective local councils until April 30.
