Ind. Gov't. - First hand experience with new parking meters!
This noon a friend and her daughter picked me up and we drove down to Bazbeaux on Massachusetts for pizza. We parked on Mass. Ave. at one of the poles with the numbered arrows. We joked that we had to be careful to get the right number and then to push all the buttons at the meter box so the payment would register correctly. We put in enough quarters to cover an hour and 30 minutes.
When we came out a little over an hour later there was a ticket on the car! Typed in the pole number at the box to check, and sure enough, there was almost half an hour of time left! Rechecked everything to be sure.
So I would consider this a rip-off, and expect we are far from the first parkers this has happened to ... What are your options? There does not seem to be a reasonable choice other than to simply pay the $20 for the unwarranted ticket! I know I would hesitate about parking on Massachusetts again ...
