No more free parking in Bangalore
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Council approved the new parking policy which would allow BBMP to collect parking fee from citizens in its meeting conducted in March.
Parking lots will be set up in all areas and parking will be charged as per the policy. The policy aims to encourage public transport and reduce land use for parking.
BBMP is waiting for a study commissioned by state government’s DULT (Department of Urban Land Transport). This study will look at public transport and existing parking availability, identify parking demand and also areas where parking lots can be set up.
DULT suggested differential pricing for A, B and C zones which are defined as per Revised Master Plan (RMP-2015). According to RMP, ‘A’ zone comprises areas within inner ring road, ‘B’ zone has areas between inner and outer ring roads, and ‘C’ zones comprise areas beyond outer ring road.
