Neither a phone nor website would work if your phone battery is flat. The meter should at least have a way for someone to park their car if they don't have a functioning phone, or internet access, even before the hellscape of needing a separate app for everything.

You're in a car. There's probably a charging port there. Sucks if you don't have a phone, but it sucked before when you didn't have change.

Parking has always been a privilege not a right, and if you're not prepared you're going to get a ticket.

I get that it's annoying but if my phone broke and I suddenly had to pay for parking with coins, I don't know what I'd do either. Everything is cashless now, where would I get coins from?
