In our sixteenth episode we discuss so-called “smart city” technology like digital parking meters and GPS on buses. We’re finally moving forward with some of these things, but why is it taking so long? Why do we always need a pilot?
The EPark technology is basically Calgary’s ParkPlus system rebranded, and it will let you pay for parking with a credit card. You don’t even need a ticket – just punch in your license plate number. The Smart Bus technology is rolling out on two routes this summer and it’ll eventually bring us real-time transit locations so you can see exactly how far away your bus is.
