At some parking meters in Szeged, card payments will be unavailable for around two months

At some parking meters in downtown Szeged, it will not be possible to pay by bank card for around two months, as that is how long it will take to procure new devices. According to the report, the disruption has been ongoing since Thursday.

The issue is being addressed by relocating parking meters

According to a statement from the Szeged Transport Company (SZKT), the fault with the card terminals could only be addressed for now by relocating parking meters. The relocated machines are being put into service continuously. According to Webrádió, the fault affects nearly 80 meters.

How to buy a parking ticket

In the meantime, parking tickets can be purchased by SMS or online, according to Viktor Knezevics, managing director of the SZKT. The company asks motorists to check the map on its website before parking.

The parking zones have not changed, but because of the relocations, some meters have stickers whose color does not match the zone they are in.
