Parking meters replace E-Cards with Octopus smart cards
Obviously not here! This is all happening in HK.
Although smart cards are all the rage. I am not surprised. I love the cards, so handy going around HK, seeing the sites. HK already implemented parking meters that accept smart cards. They will be replacing E-Park cards with the Octopus Smart card. And public are urged to donate what is left in theri e-cards to charity in a campaign running from Oct 1st to Dec 31st.
And most people here in Ireland are still stuck with paper tickets on day-to-day basis.
