GOOGLE MAPS LETS YOU PAY FOR PARKING VIA APP

Google announced Wednesday it’s rolling out a new feature enabling users to pay for street parking or transit services within the Google Maps app. Google will partner with parking services Passport and ParkMobile to allow drivers to pay for their parking meters. After you choose to “Pay for Parking,” you pick your meter number, the amount of time you need, then pay. The Pay for Parking feature will be available to Android smartphone users in more than 400 cities in the U. S., including Boston, Cincinnati, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington D. C. It’s expected to be available on iPhones soon.
