Most of us who use the commuter rail train service from Franklin to Boston (the MBTA) have experienced the aggravating moments of hunting for bills to insert, properly folded into the cash box at the MBTA parking lots. Usually these moments seem to coincide with already being late for the incoming train!
Franklin, MA and other area commuters will no longer have to deal with this nuisance as the MBTA just
announced a partnership with Parkmobile USA, customers can visit www.mbta.parkmobile.com and enroll in the new program for free, and have access to their on-line accounts 24 hours a day/7 days a week. T riders can also download a mobile app.
Once registered, customers can use the mobile app, the internet, a text message or a phone call to pay for parking. TTY service is also available. The phone number will be displayed on signs at MBTA parking facilities.
The new service will be available for 23,733 parking spaces at nearly 70 MBTA-owned lots with existing cash honor boxes. In the weeks ahead the T will work to expand the new system to lots that are not operated by the MBTA. Only two U.S. transit systems offer more parking spaces than the MBTA.
