Modern, but pitfalls

New system in parking garage leads to traffic jams

Automatic license plate recognition instead of a ticket that can get lost. The system that was supposed to make everything easier in the Donauzentrum parking garages is causing problems.

The Donauzentrum has been advertising the new system in its four parking garages since the beginning of August. The conventional ticket machines were replaced by automatic license plate recognition on September 1.

This means that a ticket is no longer issued upon entry, but the payment process takes place before leaving the center by entering the license plate number directly at the pay station. And that has its pitfalls.
