Metropolis Technologies, which was hired to run S.A. airport's parking, has been hit with consumer complaints and lawsuits.
San Antonio City Council members had learned many things about SP Plus by the time they voted in April to choose the company from among five bidders to manage parking at San Antonio International Airport. They knew that it had more than six decades of experience with airport parking and that it oversaw more than two million spaces nationwide, including at major hubs in Atlanta , San Francisco and Houston .

The fourth, filed in Texas in September, targets the company's debt collection practices.
San Antonio airport looking to add up to 2,000 parking spaces No mention of acquisition City Council members approved the contract with Chicago-based SP Plus on April 11, about two months after the company’s shareholders approved its acquisition by Metropolis. The prior October, Metropolis agreed to buy SP Plus for $1.5 billion; it went on to raise $1.8 billion in venture capital financing.

Local leaders revive talk of S.A.-to-Austin train service Reports of consumer complaints The airport had managed its own parking before choosing SP Plus through a bidding process that began in early 2023. It had decided to privatize its parking and shuttle operations after a surge in traffic put the system under strain.
