Beep beep, you've been billed twice

Warning: You may be charged twice for parking – and not even know it.

Carpark operators admit double deductions by electronic parking systems (EPS) do happen here, but claim they are rare.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), which operates 134 off-street carparks, said it had received “fewer than 10 reports” of double deductions at carparks equipped with EPS.

“The errors were due to technical issues and our EPS operators have refunded the affected motorists,” a URA spokesman said.
