The city doesn’t own the meters, yet, as far as I know. And what? Are they finally going to put chip readers so they aren’t used by thieves skimming the magnetic stripes anymore? I actually had a car skimmed this way… thief didn’t get anything, I caught the attempt to use the card number within 2 minutes of their first attempt. But it was definitely a parking meter that was used.
Agree with Faiz. The app is easy to use and I no longer overpay because of the notification when time is expiring. I’m sure that the city is getting less money because of the app.

The parking authority’s smartphone app workers wonderfully well and is almost free. I have not touched a parking meter in years.

Off topic, but does anyone have any info on the new Opus readers that are being hinted at on STM buses?

Joey, this is the STM page about them.
