RFID tags no longer needed for HDB season parking

Car owners who are season-parking holders at Housing Board carparks in Singapore will no longer need to display the season-parking radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag on their vehicles from next month.  Earlier this month, some season-parking holders received an SMS from the HDB notifying them that they will no longer need to display the tag from April 1. Last October, the Parking.sg mobile app was launched, allowing motorists to pay for public parking fees using credit or debit cards. With the app, enforcement officers are required to key the vehicle number into their electronic hand-held terminals to check for valid parking sessions, said the HDB spokesman.
