The 'HANDY Parken' service was first launched in Vienna, where it currently accounts for over 50% of all parking tickets purchased, and has since then been rolled-out across 18 cities across Austria.
"This solution allows drivers to pay for their parking tickets in a quick and simple manner. Going forward, this service will become even simpler, further increasing customer convenience and ease of use," said Alexander Sperl, Chief Commercial Officer at the Group's domestic subsidiary.
