More than 140 government services have been digitised in the past two years, the Government highlighted today.
From public transport passes to parking tickets, its digital innovation team was said to have been steadily delivering on the commitment to modernise services by reducing the need for in-person visits and making services accessible around the clock.
Since assuming responsibility for digital innovation in July, Alexa Lightbourne, the Minister of Home Affairs, has undertaken a review of the Government’s digital transformation efforts.

Drivers in Hamilton can now use their smartphones to pay for parking on Front Street, thanks to a new contactless parking system powered by local payment gateway Powertranz and technology firm Mobile Smart City Pango.
The Corporation of Hamilton has rolled out the new platform using license plate recognition, contactless access control and mobile app payments. The system allows drivers to enter, park and pay via their phone without handling paper tickets or coins.
Minister of Energy, Telecommunications and E Commerce Michael Scott said: “I’m pleased to report that Bermuda has maintained our ranking in the top 25 countries in the world for maximising the use of ICT for economic and social benefits. We were also, by far, the smallest country in the top 25. The Department of E-Commerce continues to promote the use of Information Communication Technology every day, everywhere by everyone and which helps us to continue to feature in the top countries in an increasingly digital world. ”
The City of Hamilton is to test a ticketless parking system based on license plate recognition.
The new system will be piloted at the Number 5 car park on Front Street next to Pier Six from tomorrow.
It entails the placement of a small camera at the car-park entry and exit points that will recognise the front license plates and calculate how long the vehicle has been in the location before issuing a request for payment.
