Pay parking meters with a text message
It’s like a double whammy. Pay your parking meter thanks to a text message notification and up your text usage all at the same time. Granted, single text messages aren’t that big of a deal, but they definitely do add up.
Starting now, you can pay parking meters from your cellphone, get a text message warning the meter is about to expire and even top up the meter without going outside.
The city is hoping the service — which officially began Monday — will increase revenue without costing much.
On a similar note, does anyone in the domestic US still see the old single-legged metal heads lining streets? Seattle has gone all solar powered credit carded on us (with the option to use coins of course).
