Moscow application for parking payments is available in St. Petersburg
It is now possible to use the Moscow Parking application not only in Moscow, but also in St. Petersburg: now it is called the Russia Parking and soon will include five more regions.
If the user often visit Moscow and St. Petersburg and prefer to travel by car, now it is possible to pay for parking in both cities through one application. Users do not need to download several different programs – it is possible to use one familiar service.
There is all the information about the locations and rates of street parking in St. Petersburg. In the Russia Parking application user can quickly pay for parking, extend it and even correct after payment errors, for example, change the car number and parking zone, extend the parking if it finished ahead of time.
«The Moscow application for parking payment has become available to all residents and guests of St. Petersburg. More than 125,000 cars with St. Petersburg license plates use the capital's parking lots, and at least 500,000 Moscow drivers periodically travel from Moscow to St. Petersburg using their cars. Now in both capitals it is possible to use a single service. With the support of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation and by the decision of the Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, we are ready to discuss the implementation of the Russia Parking application with other regions. Its launch will allow cities not to develop their own product, not to waste time and additional money. Residents will be able to get a time-tested and award-winning IT solution. This is one of the best such applications in the world, with a large number of functions, with its help, paying for city parking becomes much more convenient and clear», — said Maxim Liksutov, the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport.
«Traveling around the Russia by the private car is gaining more and more popularity - we learn with interest about new corners of the country and return to our favorite places. The idea to make a single Russia Parking application, which would make payment for parking sessions easier, seemed to us very timely and meeting the needs of drivers, so St. Petersburg became a pilot region that tested and launched the application on its territory. The paid parking zone in our city is gradually expanding and by 2023, it will completely cover four central districts. We are constantly working on the possibility of increasing the number of parking payment methods. Now there are six of them, along with the Russia Parking application» - said Maxim Sokolov, the Vice Governor of St. Petersburg.
In total, users can pay for more than 116 thousand places in Moscow and St. Petersburg through the application — these are the ordinary street parking lots, Moscow parking lots with a barrier, and commercial parking lots. New parking lots are constantly being added to the Russia Parking application.
