Yerevan Municipality is launching the "Yes Parking" mobile application. In addition to paying for existing parking spaces in Yerevan via SMS, the app will allow users to make payments by linking a bank card directly, without topping up the phone balance. The application also offers the option to extend parking time with the automatic payment option. If a parking space is vacated earlier than planned, users may terminate the session to avoid extra charges. Through "Yes Parking", users can also check the availability of parking spaces, as well as view and pay the fines.
