Paying For Parking Is About To Get Slightly Easier (Finding It Will Still Be Hard)

Paying For Parking Is About To Get Slightly Easier (Finding It Will Still Be Hard). The city is launching a pre-paid meter card system that allow users to swipe a card for their parking time, once when they start their parking session, and once more when they’re ready to leave.

Just imagine the laundry that could have been done with all those wasted quarters. [WCVB]
