The city says you have a right to use unexpired muni-meter time at another spot—but try telling that to meter maids and judges.
The city Department of Transportation says drivers can purchase “time’’ from a muni-meter on a street anywhere in the city, keep the receipt, and then continue to use any remaining amount on another street.
So, for example, a driver should be able to purchase three hours at a Bay Parkway muni-meter in Brooklyn, stay a half-hour there and then drive to another part of the borough—or even Manhattan, where meters are higher—and use up the remaining time at another muni-meter, according to the DOT.
“If motorists do have some time remaining on the muni-meter receipts, they can use them elsewhere,” a DOT official confirmed.

Do you mean “MOVE from spot to spot”?
Great information; Thanks.
If correct, than one can purchase time at a lower rate area, than park at a higher rate area using the same sticker. What’s the name of the DOT official?
(I suppose you mean that meter RATES are higher in Manhattan; not the meters themselves).
