I’ve previously posted about the PASS and Mawqif apps, two apps that offer you ticketless and cashless parking. I love using them because I love the convenience of not having to get a ticket or look for coins in my car to pay for parking. I now have two apps on my phone dedicated to parking which is kinda annoying but it might get worse because I found out another new app called PARK IN just got launched.
It must be frustrating for businesses when they come up with a good idea only to see copycats pop up seemingly overnight. Competition is usually good but in this case, it’s going to go from being a convenient thing having a parking app, to an annoyance if users will have to install different apps for different lots and manage wallets across them all.
PARK IN just launched so they don’t have a lot of parking lots they work with, only two right now, Souk Al Wataniya in Kuwait City and International Hospital in Salmiya. If you want to download this app as well then click here.

It seems like Pass lost some locations like 360 mall, who I think now have their own parking service.
Yeah, they lost 360 Mall a few months ago and they now use Mawqif instead.
Wait so I don’t have to pay 360 change?
Cool beans!
Ya cz marzouq is one of the partners
I hate this. An investor needs to come in and sweep all these apps and just use one instead LOL
FYI its Souk Al Watiya (no ‘n’)
It’s actually called Souk Al Wataniya (source: I’m parked outside it and the sign on the building is spelled that way)
Both Souk Al-Watiya (behind Sheraton) & Souk Al-Wataniya (near liberation tower) exist.
ah that makes sense then
I love mawqif… but from a business point of view I wonder how they make profits. Because unlike pass they don’t charge a premium fee over what the lot charges. I just hope that our info is not being shared for marketing purposes
Of course they’re gonna share it. There are no laws (AFAIK) in Kuwait for consumer privacy. How do you think every spam SMS and telemarketer knows your number?
From what i heard mawqif takes an annual subscription from the parking lot, they make their money from there.
