PATNA: Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) will be developing smart parking lots in 38 locations on pilot basis due to the increased number of vehicles on city roads causing heavy traffic. The official source said that a Haryana-based private firm has been assigned the task and the authorities are expecting to finish the work by August-end this year.

The official said that the project has been prepared on public-private partnership (PPP) basis to address the conventional parking problems in Patna. The smart parking lots will contain LED direction signage for better guidance and other facilities like portable cabin, drinking water, toilets, etc. Charging facility will also be provided but only for those vehicles which are parked there. 

The official also added that the detailed information about the parking lots will protect people from the fake touts who collect parking charge in the name of PMC. These parking lots will be constructed at Exhibition Road, Boring Canal Road, Mithapur bus stand, Patna market, and other important locations.
