Recently Fox 29 News posted this article about increases in fines in Center City:

"Now, if you get a ticket in Center City (which, of course, encompasses the city's wealthiest neighborhoods), you stand to pay a much bigger fine than before, for things like an expired meter or no standing. If you get the same ticket in a different neighborhood, the fine stays the same.

Here are some sample fines:

Expired Meter: \$26 citywide, \$36 Center City

Loading Zone: \$36 citywide, \$51 Center City

No Stopping: \$51 citywide, \$76 Center City

The city claims this is all about reducing congestion, and making people more likely to garage their cars, instead of parking on the street or circling for a parking space."
