About 80 per cent of
parking payments in Dubai are done via mobile phone apps and text messages.
About 9,000 payments a day are done through WhatsApp. This mode of payment lets motorists
save the 30-fil charge that comes with paying the fee via SMS.
Payments can be made by QR code stickers attached to parking machines and signs using the
App Clip. A major advantage of the application is that there will be no need to download the RTA Dubai app or register for the service.
Furthermore,
WhatsApp payments were overhauled through the
Mahboub chatbot, as well as the
Dubai NOW mobile app, which displays nearby locations on an interactive map and allows motorists to pay by credit card.
