New Milan SMS parking system, uploaded by giusec.

This is the latest Milan photo-set. During the crazy Xmas shopping time. And this is the new Milan SMS-based parking card system. Brand new stuff for the city. Let me explain.

You buy a card. It's a rechargeable card. Ten, thirty, fifty Euros (for loooong parking). After some time spent to find a parking spot - can be also one, two hours during the Xmas break - you finally use the card. You send an SMS to a service center, specifying: "pole" code + your card code + your pin + number of parking hours.

Interesting to discover the concept of the "pole code". Since the parking cost is based on zones (more you are in downtown, more you pay) you need to specify how much the parking is going to cost you to the service center. Per hour. Well, the code is written on metal poles which limitate the entire zone.

And this is the interesting concept. Looking around for the metal pole. Because we Italians like to simplify our life.

PS: Forgot. This is the website. In Italian. Only. If you don't speak Italian the pole will not be your only issue. You are supposed to translate the site, first.
