Published

on

Mumbai: Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is representing the parking app to track your car and to book a parking space in Mumbai. In the video of Budget 2025 posted on X (formerly Twitter) shared details about the App.

The civic body said, “Parking app to set up for booking vehicle slots in advance and online payment.”

How parking app will work?

Parking app can help Mumbaikars take the slot of parking space and track it online. In the budget for 2025-26, BMC has mentioned multiple city developments. Apart from the parking app, BMC also showed the multilevel parking structure in a video on X.

Top 4 Advantages of the Parking App

Optimised parking: Using a parking app on your phone will help you track your vehicle and park more efficiently, and assist you in booking slots from your home.

Reduced traffic: Since most cars are parked on the road and take up space, the parking app will assist in reducing traffic in the city and make your daily journey easier.

Time management: As the parking app is accessible via phone, you may schedule your car service from wherever you are in the city, and it offers an authorized guarantee.

Safety and Independent Parking Space: Because you have reserved a spot, the parking app grants you an independent parking space, making you the only person using the designated parking spot. It also offers the significant benefit of increased vehicle safety while parking and in-system parking.

About Multilevel Robotic Car Parking

The civic body also posted on X about the Multilevel Robotic Car Parking in Mumbai, mentioning: ”Work orders have been issued for 194 capacity multilevel Car parking near Apsara Pen Shop, Flora Fountain (Hutatma Chowk) in A Ward.
