You can imagine my amazement, given that I have blogged a few times about the parking payment machines at Sandton City that I came across one this past week that worked. It even gave me change which is another thing they often don’t do. I did not have to walk 500 metres to find another working machine. I was amazed and thought this was a sign of good things until I got to the exit gate 5 minutes later, and the boom refused to work, indicating that the time on my ticket was exceeded!

I wonder why Liberty simply cannot get these machines working properly. They are busy with a R1 billion improvement of Sandton City with new developments and the like, but somewhere along the line they have to get the basics like parking right.
