MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - November 29, 2016) - With the holiday season just around the corner, riders of the Miami-Dade Metrorail will be happy to hear that they can now avoid long morning lineups when paying for parking on their already busy days. Miami's favorite parking app, PayByPhone, enables commuters to choose when and where to pay for their parking. Passengers are also able to manage their parking directly from the app and get digital receipts emailed to them. The PayByPhone service is available at parking lots across the length of the rapid transit system. Over 1.5 million passengers ride the Metrorail which extends from the Miami International Airport to Miami-Dade's 38 municipalities.
PayByPhone is Florida's most popular parking app. In Miami alone, over 75% of residents and visitors use the app to complete their parking sessions, and in Coral Gables and South Miami over 60% of parking revenue is generated by PayByPhone users. Expanding rapidly across the region, the service is also available in Surfside, Bay Harbor Islands, FIU, Miami Parks as well as many locations in Broward County, including Ft. Lauderdale and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
"We're excited to extend our service to the Miami-Dade Metrorail," says Kush Parikh, President and CEO of PayByPhone. "Users in Florida love our app and it just shows that drivers are ready and willing to move into an era of mobile parking."
PayByPhone is the leading mobile parking provider with over 300 implementations covering more than one million parking spaces across seven countries in North America, Europe and Australia. The technology company has become the largest parking payment provider in the world with over 12.5 million users globally.
