Parking meters you can call

This innovation sounds like the answer to a question no one asked.

Coral Gables, Fla., residents can now call their parking meter via cell phone and virtually buy more time.

According to the AP: “The automated system allows drivers who subscribe to simply dial in from their cell phone, punch in the number assigned to their parking spot, and the required costs – plus a 25-cent usage fee – will be billed to their credit card. When leaving, subscribers call back and end the billing cycle.”

That sounds like a total pain, just carry some extra change for Pete’s sake.
