An article on Business Insider highlights a free bot by British programmer Joshua Browder, 19, who launched a beta version of the ticket busting bot in London in September. In that month alone, 3,000 people used the service to appeal their parking tickets. By February, it had already appealed 3 million worth of parking tickets. In April, Browder launched the bot in New York as well. To-date, the bot has successfully appealed between 160,000 of 250,000 parking tickets in both London and New York, giving it a 64% success rate.
