Penang does away with paper parking coupons

GEORGETOWN (Oct 29): Paper parking coupons will not be sold in Penang after Dec 31, 2019 and will not be valid after Dec 31, 2020, the Star reported today.

City councillor Gooi Seong Kin gave this reminder at the Penang Island City Council full meeting here today.

According to the Star, Gooi said: “All Penang motorists and visitors who drive must download the Penang Smart Parking (PSP) app and start using it.

“For those who are unwilling or unable to make online transactions to top up credits into the app, the council has appointed five official agents to sell PSP e-coupons other than the council itself.

“They are 7Eleven, Happy Mart, Yang Agency, PH Ocean and Jefferson.

“The e-coupons will have codes for users to punch into the app to top up their credits.”

Gooi also announced the standardised chargeable parking hours for PSP on the mainland and on the island will be from 8am to 6pm every day except on Sundays and public holidays.
