> I don’t know why people are throwing their hands up at technology and using quarters when the apps are much more convenient (especially since you can remotely extend your parking time).
Because popping a quarter into the machine is much more convenient for most people than downloading a questionable app, typing in your license plate, address, and credit credit card.
I'd be willing to bet the number of people who need to remotely extend their parking time by app instead of feeding the meter are vastly outnumbered by the people who just want to park downtown for 30 minutes to grab a sandwich and move on with their day.
