This was my first thought. Instead of an app and relying on a consuner to have the technology, why dont we put in a parking machine that can accept cards and cash?
Everywhere I've seen indigo (or hotspot) around Halifax, they've supported both pay at a physical terminal, or pay via phone (which gives you extra features like feeding the meter remotely, or refunding unused time).
Personally I think it's a pretty good system.
