@chu you are free to not use the lot. Using a service and not paying because the payment options aren't to your liking doesn't seem like a good argument in court

@sven @chu exactly. At least in the US you’d have no general right to use the lot, so the owner could specify whatever payment type they wanted. I don’t think this requires downloading an app though, the QR code is just to link you to their website to pay. A small point I know, and not germane to your original complaint.

@VirginiaHolloway @sven

I was on a university campus so while I could walk away, that wasn't in the cards.

It was a rare occasion I had to drive into campus. First time in years so I'm not too fussed about it. What I do want to point out though is that they had to accommodate me with a physical student card b/c my phone could not run the app that the e cards use.

So there's already precedence as they can't force me to shell out $ to buy a phone and they are a public institution, so it's not exactly a private business.
