The good news for drivers in the UAE is that they will soon be able to provide car parking through the WhatsApp.
According to Gulf media, this was stated by senior officials of Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). This feature will be introduced soon after the new method is fully tested.
Drivers will be able to pay for their parking tickets through the WhatsApp. Ahmed Mehboob, executive director of the RTA, said the procedure was still being tested and would be launched within two weeks after an internal investigation.
This is exactly the method that people use for SMS parking. Users will continue to send the same information to the WhatsApp that they used to send to 7275.
Using the WhatsApp, drivers will not have to pay the 30 files they used to pay for parking tickets via SMS.
