MBTA Launches "Park Mobile" Pay by phone app

On Tuesday, the MBTA put these handy little fliers to advertise the ParkMobile Beta program.  These handy little fliers were left on your seat for you to read on your way into the city to learn more about the program and how it works - and I assume to invite you to test it out.  It's a partnership between the MBTA and ParkMobile where you download an app to your iPhone, Droid or Blackberry and are able to pay for your parking via credit card.  The program begins on July 23rd.

What do I think of this?  I think it's awesome!  No more shuffling around in the morning to find singles or change to slip in that little slot in the morning while you're rushing to make sure you get the train that is just about into the station.  Plus, if you're one of those people that just never carry cash (like me), then this is a moment where you're probably thinking "It's about time!".  Hopefully this turns turns into a program beyond a beta test soon after!  Thanks MBTA!
