You could make the same argument about the car you're parking--and the plane you're flying on from the airport.

I could, but I wouldn't. It used to be you could feed real currency into a machine to pay for parking. Requiring a specific device for payment is putting undue burden on the consumer.

I can pay cash for a car quite easily. That may be harder for a plane ticket, but not out of the question. My point is there isn't even an option in the parking lot.

Have you tried paying cash for a car? I did. The dealership said absolutely not. They don't accept cash but they're happy to take a cashiers check.

On a side note, I do agree forcing people to use an app to pay for parking is complete BS.

[sojournerc]

Yes. I buy used cars from private owners.

Even if you take the smartphone out of the equation, there are a ton of things you can only pay for with a credit/debit card. And we all know that will only become more widespread.

To me the biggest offense is forcing me to download your shitty app XD
