RingGo

RingGo is a pay by phone parking service, based in the UK.

RingGo

Technology
RingGo in use in the London Borough of Camden.

The system is used by local authorities for on-street parking and public car parks.[1][2] The smartphone application requires that users log both their arrival and departure time and failure to remember to sign out can lead to an overcharge.[3] It has also been suggested that councils that use RingGo are unfairly penalising users who find the technology difficult to use.[4] This has meant reduced customer numbers in some shopping centres that switched to smartphone-only parking.[5]
