Save money parking motorcycles and scooters at regular parking meters with Paybyphone
You get a 50% discount on parking rates when you use Paybyphone to park your gas-powered motorcycle and scooter in regular parking meter spaces.
Electric scooters with licence plates can get a 75% discount.
Electric scooters without licence plates can't park in regular parking meter spaces.
Space sharing
You can share a parking space with other motorcycles or scooters if there's room. Make sure your bike fits within the painted lines of the space.
When you share a space, here's how to pay for parking:
- By Paybyphone – this covers your bike only
- By coin at the meter – this covers all the bikes in the parking space
If you're parked in a space with no time left on the parking meter or no current Paybyphone transaction, you can get a ticket.
