Bucharest City Hall has seen a significant increase in parking revenue following the elimination of free parking for hybrid vehicles on May 1st. The measure, which ended free access to blue zone parking spaces for hybrids, resulted in a 56% overall increase in income. Certain subscription types experienced even more substantial gains, with a 130% rise in revenue. The data was released in response to an inquiry from HotNews regarding the impact of the policy change. The Municipal Parking Company, responsible for managing parking facilities, provided the figures. This indicates a direct correlation between removing the hybrid vehicle benefit and increased parking fee collection within the city. The change aims to generate more revenue from parking and potentially encourage the use of public transportation.
