Pay Your Parking Meter with Your Cell Phone
c/o Yahoo News
Drivers lacking coins now may use cell phones to feed parking meters in Coral Gables, purportedly the first city in the country to offer such a service.
The Miami suburb began offering the system this month on its 4,573 meters; so far, more than 250 people have subscribed.
It took Kamran Saraf six-and-a-half minutes to enroll by entering his credit card, e-mail, license plate and telephone number. (Hmmm ... now that's convenient.)
PayMint, the Toronto-based company that offers the service, e-mails users copies of their transactions, plus allows subscribers to track their usage online. The service is already being used at several locations in Ontario and British Columbia
