Since 2012, other than the widely used coupons, residents could pay by sending an SMS to 33122 before the SMSParkir app was first introduced in May, 2016. Some amendments were made in 2017 where parking machines were erected at certain areas such as in Taman Sutera Utama and Taman Impian Emas and in 2018, the authority is looking into integrating the whole system into apps alone.
