MBJBSpot Makes My Life So Much Easier: A Citizen’s Experience

Imagine a city where parking is no longer a hassle but a smooth, effortless experience. That’s exactly what one young woman in her 20s told us when sharing her experience with MBJBSpot, the fully digital parking system introduced by Johor Bahru City Council (MBJB).

“It’s so easy and efficient, perfectly suited for an urban lifestyle,” she said with a smile. For her, the app isn’t just about paying for parking; it’s become part of her daily routine, blending seamlessly with the pace of city living.

From Paper to Digital. Gone are the days of searching for paper coupons or keeping track of flimsy parking tickets. With MBJBSpot, everything is just a tap away. What used to be a time-consuming task is now a quick, digital-first experience designed for modern citizens.

“I love how everything is in one app. I can pay, check my balance and know my parking status instantly. I don’t have to worry about getting a compound because I forgot,” she explained.

Driving a Smarter City. Behind this convenience lies a bigger vision. MBJBSpot is part of MBJB’s bold initiative to transform Johor Bahru into a smart, future-ready city. The system was developed by Presgo Gateways, under the iData brand, as a cornerstone of the council’s digitalization journey, aligning with the Malaysia Smart City Framework.

MBJBSpot is a clear example of how technology can solve everyday problems in ways that are simple yet powerful. It saves time, reduces manual hassle and reflects a city that’s evolving with its people smarter, faster and more connected.
