In a move that effectively bans parking app Haystack from doing business in Boston, the City Council voted to bar companies seeking to lease publicly owned space to others. The Haystack app allows drivers to sell their on-street parking spaces to others willing to pay a fee. Kate Norton, a spokeswoman for Mayor Marty Walsh, said the mayor would sign the proposal into law. “The city can encourage innovation and undertakes new innovations every day, but we cannot allow for the equal and fair access of public ways to be diminished by private enterprises seeking to profit from or reserve public amenities they do not own or lease themselves, and have no right to profit from or reserve,” said Norton in a statement.
The pilot project for the cashless payment of parking fees in Nairobi was launched in August. Jambopay Chief Executive Officer, Danson Muchemi says the five-day exercise will see motorists pay for their parking using their mobile phones or through agents located strategically on the street.

After parallel parking on North Market Street, L.B. Nesmith stopped to deposit a coin in the parking meter. For a quick shopping trip on a Monday morning, he picked the low-tech method for paying. The meter also allows motorists to swipe a credit card to avoid a dreaded parking ticket. “It probably would bring more people in to Wilmington,” Nesmith said of the ability to park without fiddling with a pocket full of spare change. Paying with a credit card for a purchase that could be handled with a few quarters, dimes and nickels might strike some people as odd. But businesses hoping to attract younger customers might consider adding more electronic payment options. Slightly more than half of adults ages 18 to 29 prefer plastic to cash – even for payments of less than five dollars, according to a new survey from CreditCards.com. The trend isn’t just that age group. Consumers who are younger than 49 prefer credit about 46 percent of the time. Those who are older than 50 prefer cash 77 percent of the time.
