Google Maps has integrated the mobile payment service Google Pay to offer users the possibility of paying for parking meters and public transport, which are included in the same application.

Payment for street parking is available on Android from this Wednesday in more than 400 cities in the United States, such as Boston, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Washington DC, with the integration of Passport and ParkMobile solutions.

The user will see when he approaches his destination following the navigation mode, a message that will indicate “Pay for parking”. You will only be asked to indicate the number of the parking meter and the time the car will stay parked, to pay the fee.

This payment function uses Pay, Google’s mobile payment application, which also allows payments to be made on public transport. On Android it will be extended to 80 transport agencies around the world “in the coming weeks”, as reported in its official blog.

Google Maps allows you to see in the transit directions the option of payment with the mobile in the associated transport agencies. With this function, the ticket can be purchased in advance, which can be shown on the telephone when arriving at the station.
