By a whole dollar, or five more if you park in a handicapped zone illegally. My pearls!
(Though wow, parking in a handicapped zone went up a LOT in 2018. I don’t see it that often when I am driving my grandmother places, which is good, as there aren’t that many handicapped spots as it is.)
I often see my friends pull out their phone and extend their parking time with the app before the meter expires. I wonder if enough people are doing that, that fine revenue is dropping to the point they need to increase the fines.
I read after that app got introduced revenues did drop fairly noticeably. Raising parking tickets is just another sin tax, this admin knows it can do what it wants in that regard.
