Google makes it easy to pay for transit and parking in Maps and Pay

Google is integrating ways to pay for parking and transit fares right into its Maps app. 

On Wednesday, the company launched these new tools in Google Maps, in collaboration with Google Pay. For parking, Google integrated with parking solutions providers Passport and ParkMobile. In practice, when in driving navigation in Maps, you'll be able to tap the "Pay for Parking" button as you approach your destination. Then, once parked, enter your meter number and the amount of parking time you require and tap on Pay. You can also extend your parking session later if need be. 

As for public transport, Google says you can now pay for fares at over 80 transit agencies around the world. This means you can now plan your trip, buy the fare, and show the ticket, all from within Google Maps.  Read more...
