Photo: Flickr, CCCentral Parking System Partners with Smart USAParkings in urban areas are expensive because space comes at a premium, so it makes sense that if you use less of it with your car, you should pay less (and maybe they could also charge more to gigantic SUVs?). This is what Central Parking System, in partnership with Smart USA, has decided to do in its 350 parking garages in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and New Jersey.Good luck getting out.

Dave Schembri, President of smart USA, said:

"Our arrangement with the parking companies gives smart owners the best of both worlds - the ability to park at a discounted price, along with the ease to park almost anywhere. The smart fortwo is helping New Yorkers change the way they navigate and park in New York, while offering great fuel economy, safety and functionality."
