A: Your vehicle number gets logged in PCMC’s system. The attendants use devices to check if you’ve paid. Pretty smart, right?
Q: Can I use it any time, day or night?
A: The system is 24/7, but the timing of each parking zone may vary. It depends on where you park.
Q: Do I need to install a separate app?
