Not that new

Aside the electronic display, this system is already running in Slovenia in many cities including the capital Ljubljana, the only difference is that you get a printout from the parking ticket post.

Very new when the receipt appears by Magic

Hi. The point of ParkMagic from the drivers point of view is that there is no need to go to the parking machine. There is even no need for the machine itself. The parking permit is sent electronically to the display in the car. ParkMagic customers get their receipt online as a statement.

Similar concept in Israel

we have a digital display which you can refil at filling stations.
it comes preset with rates and time limits for local towns, so in tel aviv you get 3 hours at 75 cents an hour in jerusalem it may be a 2 hour limit with a dollar an hour tarrif.
you just set your locality and it tells you how much time you have and what it will cost.
