Great technology that saves my time for running over street to refill the parking meter!

Parking meters with SMS and Credit Card Payments.
Los Angeles is testing a new smart parking meter system with ATM-style meters, accepting cash, debit cards, as well as credit cards. That’s not all!

This is indeed a better smart parking meter system comparing with those in New York City now: at least you don’t have to buy a special debit card just for the parking.
