Even 0 if i could
Even 0 if i could. Why I’m obligated to provide my personal info to pay for a parking? Such as my phone number my name and my email? If i don’t want to or if i just don’t have it?
It should be illegal to charge someone…
It should be illegal to charge someone for simply driving through a garage. I’ve been getting charged for parking in the garage that is attached to my apartment complex. I have permission to park there, but continue being charged by metropolis. And their support is dense.
This type of company is the beginning of the end of orderly society.
Some tech company across the country is making money by “guarding” a garage they’ll never set foot in. Charging people without them ever handing over their card should be illegal.
The QR code did not open the parking…
The QR code did not open the parking app in Nashville downtown location. Then I tried paying for it online however the fee escalated from a $40 parking to $96. I refuse. They sent threating letter to me which I spent over an hour online trying to resolve but they were unresponsive. Even using a Chat was useless. I will never use this incompetant company again and any parking lot that uses this service deserves all the dislike consumers can issue.
If you see a parking lot with the sign…
If you see a parking lot with the sign “Metropolis” get out ASAP. This company took over a lot we used to park in often. When arrived, the gate would not lift, leaving us sitting there for five minutes with cars waiting behind us. By now we were late so were forced to rush. After our event, it took nearly an hour to leave the lot because the gate or the app were malfunctioning and people could not exit. We were charged $13.00 for the time we were in the lot which ADDED the hour we were sitting trying to exit. I have also discovered that this company will track your vehicle indefinitely after you park there once z DON’T DO IT!!!!
As bad as it gets
As bad as it gets. Parked for 45 min, selected the one hour option in app. Their high tech cameras did not detect our exit and we were charged for 24 hrs. Attempted to dispute with customer service which was was rude, dismissive and blamed us- hilariously - as we followed their directions. Now
Reading reviews o see this is just common operating procedure for them
They never specified with any sign or…
They never specified with any sign or notice that you need to pay to park and that they would charge you 74 DOLLARS FOR A TICKET!!! - roc taco parking lot SLC
Credit Card Stolen!!
We parked a rental vehicle in a Metropolis lot in NY. 2 months later the rental vehicle was parked by another user in TN and the company processed payment on our debit card. When we contacted the company they said they would not refund us because our card is linked to this rental vehicle. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. THEY STEAL YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION!!!! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Requesting Additional Charges/Fees
I was charged the original parking fee on the initial date, yet metropolis looked up my information based on my license plate to mail me a letter 2 months later asking that I once again pay the fee and an additional $55 as a notice fee otherwise they can tow/boot my car. When contacting them they continued to ask me for a receipt despite me already sharing the payment on my credit card. Why would anyone keep a parking receipt for over two months?
The worst experience ever
The worst experience ever. Have to wait 3 hours for my car which I pay every month to park and can’t get to work because nobody will move or give you an answer. This people need and will be sued because this is ridiculous
Metropolis made shopping at the…
Metropolis made shopping at the Broadway Plaza in walnut Creek a nightmare. I spent 30 minutes figuring out how to use it. Fortunately I was done with my shopping before 3 hours when the charges start, because I couldn’t get to the point in the system to enter my credit card. I found the option only after I returned home. I will be curtailing my shopping future shopping trips to Broadway Plaza or parking elsewhere. What a waste of time!
Rating 1* because can't rate ZERO!
Rating 1* because can't rate ZERO!
Received a notice after a parking charge of U$6, added by a U$ 54.50 processing fee!
That's dishonesty. Can't accept this.
Fee was dropped after a stressful phone call.
Done with them. See you never again.

Avoid metropolis.io at all costs
This company is deceptive and fraudulent in fee processing and late fee practices. Metropolis.io makes it near impossible to get customer assistance. I would recommend never parking here or supporting such a deceptive fraudulent company. They should be banned. I'm disgusted that such a vile company is allowed to operate. This company should not be in business with their deceptive fraudulent practices in theivery.
This abject app shoves AI where it's not needed
Why not coerce the customer, trapped the minute they enter the parking lot, into scanning a QR code (hello, 2021!) to hand their data to this random 3rd party app for them to use and sell as they see fit? Or scan a potentially virus-laden QR code, just for the sake of digitalizing a process that was working just fine till some MBAs dreamt up a way to squeeze money out of a terrible idea?
You used to be able to pay cc or cash when leaving a parking lot. Nothing was wrong with that, at all. So metropolis.io, the pointless app of the future, set out to provide a 'new and improved, digitalized customer experience'.
Enjoy.
AI Scam Company
I had a monthly pass at a parking garage. I canceled it so I could move to another garage and was out by the end of day of the last day on my pass, but it charged me for OVER A DAY of parking ($40). Their AI support chat bot doesn't help. Their parking is cheap for a reason.
Horrible customer service!
Horrible customer service!! Sent me to bill collection , and they claimed they sent me several bills. Which i never received, Charged me $50 in fines for a $20 bill.
Do not park with Metropolis
Do not park with Metropolis. There is no signage on how to pay for parking and their response to my concern is trying to get rid of my bill all together rather than put signage up. You will get a bill over one month after your visit.
AI Crapbot, Charged Twice
Was charged $60 by this service when I paid on site in the garage. When I went to dispute it, the AI Crapbot sends you in circles. Clearly designed to prevent actually helping you. The bot requires you share all kinds of personal information just to direct it nowhere. Appears my data was stolen too. Horrible company.
This company is garbage
This company is garbage, the support is garbage, rude staff. Danica closed the message in it on me. I hope they go bankrupt and close. I have never disliked any company as much as this place. I will never in my life recommend them to any body. I swear to god I hope their servers crash or that they get ransomware and lose all of their stuff.
Metropolis app is dog crap.
The app is dog crap. Sometimes the Payment method I saved just suddenly disappears. It’s so frustrating. Because the next day they send me a text saying you’ve paid the fee you’re good. But I used cash so now I’m double charged.
Beware when picking up or dropping off passengers
They manage the parking lot at the Amtrak station in Richmond, VA. Took my wife to the station so she could catch a train. Parked in their lot. The kiosk where you make payment was surrounded by ice and understandably blocked off by caution tape. Train arrived, I waved goodbye to my wife and walked back to my car, only to find that in those fifteen minutes i had received a $65 parking ticket. Called their number and told the customer service rep about my experience. She agreed to “waive” the ticket, but informed me I was still obligated to pay a service & processing fee of $16.50. Thankful for the waiver, I suppose, but still felt scammed by the processing fee.
