What is Spark ?

Designed by Ganis Systems Ltd. Spark is a small personal parking meter engineered to suit the needs of city motorists who want the convenience of on-street parking without the costs associated.

The motorist uses the Spark personal parking meter as an alternative to the  Pay&Display machines/parking meters.  Once the motorist has found a parking place, he/she simply activates the Spark, hangs it in the driver's window, and leaves the car.  Upon returning to the vehicle, the motorist switches the Spark off stopping the payment automatically.

The motorist will ONLY ever pay for actual time parked, not a minute longer!
