Smart parking system to be introduced at Hyderabad Metro stations

Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) is all set to introduce a smart parking management system at 24 stations on the Nagole-Miyapur stretch.

Now, passengers will have to pay for parking their vehicles at Metro stations. At present, the passengers are permitted to park their vehicles at the Metro stations for free.

The charging system - two-wheeler owners have to pay Rs 6 for the first two hours and Rs 3 for every hour thereafter while the four-wheeler owners have to pay Rs 16 for the initial two hours and Rs 8 for every hour thereafter.

If the motorists park the vehicles outside designated areas, the penalty will be up to Rs 100 for two-wheelers and Rs 200 for four wheelers.

Apart from this, the motorists will have to shell out parking fee for 10 hours for violating parking rules.

Under the smart parking system, HMRL is inviting agencies to take up the work and maintain the entire system along with an exclusive mobile app for users to pay the parking fee online and check slot availability among other features.
