Earn Money by Reporting Parking Errors
EuroWeekly News | 17 Apr 2024 | Anna AkopyanA Swedish company launched an app which allows users to earn money by reporting wrongly parked cars.
The residents of Sweden, Uppsala, can now receive 100 kroner (€8,50) for reporting each unlawfully parked car. After uploading a photo of the wrongly parked car, the Scout Park app notifies the user that a parking attendant is on their way; each car correctly reported will be issued a fine as a consequence, with the reporting [party] receiving a benefit.
The developer, Erik Englund, explained the application: “Scout Park …
Cute name.
… is a so-called gig economy app that allows anyone over the age of 16 with a Swedish social security number to earn money by helping parking attendants find people who do not follow the parking rules in the community.”
Geheimstaatspark would fit
Scout Park is in an agreement with the private parking company Parkias, hence only the cars in their areas can be reported. However, the development´s CEO shared on LinkedIn that he is looking to expand across Sweden.
And people who back into parking spaces think they’re better than everyone else.
When you have the time and the luxury to do so, it gives you one less thing to worry about when it’s time to leave.
Snitches get stitches.
