Y2K-type glitch is causing NYC parking meters to reject credit cards
According to the NYC Department of Transportation, crews are out reconfiguring the software meter by meter. It’s unclear how long that will take, as the city has 14,000 meters covering about 85,000 parking spaces.
The meters are still accepting coins and the free ParkNYC.org app. The city hasn’t said how it will handle all of the tickets issued while the payment software is down.
We’ve received reports across the city of parking meters not accepting credit cards. DOT crews are out fixing the issue. In the meantime, meters are still accepting coins & the free #ParkNYC app, available at https://t.co/iCQhX2wHF4, App Store, GooglePlay. pic.twitter.com/yzVU21jyqr
