Parking will become a little easier in Chicago. The “pay-by-cell program”, which technically will be available only to iPhone and Android users with credit cards, will kick off Downtown this spring before the option is rolled out “neighborhood by neighborhood” to the rest of the city. Drivers will enter a meter number and how much time they anticipate to park into their smartphone, saving them the hassle of walking to a meter box and returning with a white printed receipt. The technology will also mean motorists can renew their parking without returning to the fare box or their vehicle. LINK VIDEO
