The Comú d' Andorra la Vella has decided to modernize the machinery of the car parks that has become obsolete and replace the card with a PK of so-called "citizen card", in the future is expected to allow users to pay for other services, such as the Serradells or bus.

"We have seven parks with a specific machine, very good, but through the years there have been changes. There are new notes and chip cards that our cashiers do not detect. So we had an expiration date that it was this year, "explained the senior consul of the parish, Jordi Minguillón.

Thus, we upgraded the software on more cards and readers ticket, which will cost 180,000 euros for the communal coffers. The corporation, however, is expected to repay it within a period of four years. To this cost they will have to add later the acquisition of new parking meters adapted to the new operating system. The consul said that the changes will be made gradually because "we can not change all at once."

In parallel corporation also found that KP has exhausted cards and no longer find this type of item in the market. This is why it has been used to introduce new smart cards to replace those currently allowed to have a prepaid parking system. Minguillón explained that they will create a "citizen card".

"These cards do you have parking, but also the entrance to the sports center, you can pay the tuition of the child to the school of music, you can buy a ticket to a show ... in short, all the activities that you charge to the card all the activities offered by the Comú, "explained the mayor". The creation of these new cards and services will cost about 186,000 euros, which will also be paid within four years.
