Bucharest City Hall has launched its long-debated parking fee structure, and those who don’t pay or pay incorrectly risk high fines.
Drivers could be fined RON 200 (EUR 40) per day and have their vehicles blocked if they use the parking lots managed by City Hall and do not pay the corresponding fees, writes SpotMedia.
The measure came into force on August 16 and concerns public domain parking spaces marked with blue paint.
According to the Bucharest Municipal Parking Company, any driver who wishes to park their car in one of the ‘blue’ parking spaces, may do so after paying the mandatory fee.
The parking fee is payable via the Parking București app, which is free to download from the AppStore or Google Play, via SMS to 7458, or in person to one of the parking attendants stationed in the municipal parking lots.
The app is also useful in finding parking spots near your chosen destination and seeing when the next spot will become available.
The parking rates charged by the Municipal Parking Company are applied by zone.
