another system used in israel is called Easy-Park. i can buy an electronic device for about 20$, and charge it with the amount i want. then when parking i activate the device and hang it from the window. the Easy-Park meter supports different tariffs and the transactions are logged at the charge-stations, located mostly at gas stations. it counts time in minutes, so there is no waste (unless you forget to turn it off...)
