- METRO PARKING AUTHORITY IS PREDATORY. They will use any and all excuses to give out tickets. I used the app to park but NOWHERE does it state that you cannot update a license plate when I went from temporary to permanent plates. I had already paid the fee before I realized it and Metro is refusing to dismiss the ticket I got even though I paid for the car that was in the lot. Fighting it will COST MORE MONEY. Someone else got a ticket due to poor signage. He was able to get the ticket dismissed, but only because he fought it. The sign issue has not been fixed; how much money Metro is fleecing from riders who don't know any better? Also, recently riders are being required to enter their TAP card numbers every time they park to make sure they are using Metro services - another excuse to give out more citations. Metro has NO RESPECT FOR PAYING RIDERS, not to mention that ride quality and safety has plummeted over the years.
