Credit Card Buzz
Annoyed
when you find a parking spot and realize you don't have the
right change for the meter? If you live or work in Las Vegas,
that annoyance is a thing of the past, at least in some cases.
Las
Vegas is one of the first cities in the country allowing drivers
to pay for on-street parking with credit cards or cell phones,
introducing today 15 new meters that cover 150 parking spots
in the city's downtown business district.
"We
are trying new parking meter technology to make it more convenient
for customers to enjoy a downtown that is accessible and a place
where people can easily conduct business," according to Las
Vegas City Manager Doug Selby.
The
new meters are from Reino Enforcement Technology. The pay by
cell phone service is provided by mPARK service. Cell phone
payments are processed by Peppercoin.
