The vibrant city of Mumbai, home to over 12 Million people, is the financial capital of the country. In order to improve the quality of life, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) wishes to improve the basic infrastructure.The city has seen a significant increase in the private vehicles over last few years. It has become increasingly difficult for citizens to find public parking places while they are on the move. In order to ease the parking woes of the citizens, MCGM proposes to adopt and implement a new parking policy. The new parking policy elaborates on-street parking (residential parking, parking near schools, and parking for tourist places) and off-street parking. Moreover, MCGM also envisages web based parking to be implemented and issue receipts using hand held devices.

As a pilot project, it is proposed to implement the parking policy in ‘A’ ward after receiving the necessary approvals.

Suggestions are invited from the public at large for improvement of the proposed policy.

The draft policy can be seen here: https://mygov.in/frontendgeneral/pdf/parking-policy-20122014.pdf

4) traffics law to be followed strictly and people need to educate. 5) all the road near junction must be without pothole and free from street vendor. 6) at moment RTO least bother about the street vendor because it's not under their duty . Actually traffic and parking nuisance created by street vendor. 7) parking / stoppage rule need to be modified. 8) in Greece to ease the traffic , one day no. plate with odd no is allowed on road and one day no. Plate with even no. Allowed on the road.

First of all there is no synchronisation between BMC and RTO. Like UAE road and transport come under one authority. Our RTO should change to RTA. (Road transport authority). 1) towing of vehicles should be banned because they are not doing their duty fairly. 2) heavy vehicles not Allowed on road between 8.00am to 8.00 pm 3) All new residential and commercial property must have compulsory 2 car parking per flat / offices for area more then 500square feet carpet area under the free FSI.

Before making parking policy we should evaluate why we have so much parking issue in Mumbai. Based on my observation of Mumbai following are the reasons 1. All streets near stations are occupied by vendors and therefore no space to even walk 2. No alternative means of transportation similar to local train. 3. Approval by BMC for building without adequate parking requirements etc. Parking policy should have resolution to cases responsible parking issue.

Govt preaches Public Transport-In Mumbai in two months BEST bus fares have been hiked-once in Feb.2015 and now from April 1st 2015-despite petrol/diesel prices going down,what is the justification for the hike?Rickety quality of buses do not turn up in time,be it BEST or NMMT(Navi MUmbai Municipal Transport)the quality of service is the same,only fares keep rising everytime.There is hardly any difference between public tranport travel cost, and having one's own vehicle-when this is the service

Local trains in Mumbai are already carrying 10 times more than their capacity, people who are not physically fit cannot travel in these trains.Such is the crowd that unless you are an athlete you cannot jostle yourself through the crowd either at the time of boarding or alighting from the local train.Further, law and order is not taken care of by the Govt. so many cases of pick-pocketing,looting happen in these trains regularly,how can public rely on public transport.

Earlier BEST purchased quality buses from reputed manufacturers like Ashok Leyland etc, but know buses are purchased from anybody who gives crores under the table to the top bosses,let the quality of BEST suffer;how can public bank upon such public transport to reach their destination.Low quality BEST buses have frequent breakdowns and people dont reach workplace on time,hence own vehicle is necessary.Govt. needs to correct themselves first,public at large are not wrong.

In Mumbai corruption has reached its peak.BEST Buses which are purchased are of such low quality that the buses make so much noise,have frequent breakdowns how can the public have faith on such public transport.All Mumbai knows that Municipality siphoned-off crores in the name of AirConditioned BEST buses which were claimed to be purchased from China,but ultimately it came out that these faulty cheap buses were purchased from some unscrupulous Indian manufacturers

In New Mumbai where there is not much congestion,there also Govt. has made paid parking in every nook and corner of the so-called -"City of the 21st Century".It is City of 21st century on in terms of shelling out money everywhere without any amenities.Senior citizens cant even visit a doctor,bank,pharmacy without paying parking charges..fleecing the public despite having collected Road Tax,Vehicle Tax,Service tax..etc etc.Our govt is good only for collecting money from public,no service is given
