The Island city is packed with old buildings which have no parking space for its residents/users. Commercial buildings in south Mumbai colaba/Masjid/Nariman point/kabadevi area etc attract many visitors during the day for business purposes and use of cars cannot be wished away. What is required is a whole scrapping of the city and rebuilding it with tower structures with all required facilities. This will cost a packet but not something that cannot be afforded. It requires political will.

increase car parking space by mandating that any private or public building will have atleast 2 =3 levels of basement and stilt parking including for visitors parking. also encourage private builders to make public car parking spaces..where they can put higher tariff than usual...

create safe and authorised parking lots and have high rates so that people have the option to park but are still deterred from it.

I believe that the fines for traffic related offences should be very heavy. (Of course, this is assuming that the traffic police accepts no bribes, else this serves no purpose.)
If a vehicle parked on the street causes nuisance in the area, then the fine should be so heavy that the next time, people will have to think twice about where they Park. This would probably help create some traffic discipline, by maybe organizing the currently disorganized traffic scenario.

Take Inventory of open spaces and potential areas that can be used / developed for parking. The municipal corporation can take the lead in digitizing the inventory of such spaces. Concessionaire organization can contribute capital! Citizens can be asked to pay a subscription fee such as monthly / yearly for a competitive price! higher price on demand can be made available.!Govt may consider some nominal amount like a parking cess! A mobile App can provision , charge n manage this operations!!

Mumbai is the Financial Capital of India & also a very Vibrant city with lots of Cultural Heritage. Parking has Been a long term challenge as the number of Two wheelers/cars/mini trucks etc on the roads are increasing every day. Few options.Maximum 2 cars per Family,No drive Time zone for Mini Trucks/Goods Carrier During Peak Hours,Vertical Parking,Floating Parking islands on sea, Use Empty parking of Shopping Malls & Most Important Follow Traffic Rules.

Make it compulsory for builders to make enough parking spaces to in the residential buildings / offices to accommodate vehicles of all inhabitants. In Mumbai parking spaces are sold quite at handsome money, and that will motivate builders to do so. Also it should be made mandatory to the flat/office owners to buy enough parking space for vehicle under their ownership. Govt can attract people to buy parking spaces by offering tax exemption for area of parking spaces bought by them.

4. Purchase of new vehicle should be discouraged by strict policies like high taxation etc. Public transport system should be improved by providing efficient, comfortable & punctual rapid transit systems.
5 Officials travelling to same office or area should be encouraged for pooling by giving incentives or charging high parking fees for individuals compared to shared vehicles.

1. I agree with what many of the members have suggested. We should create adequate multi level parking system from basements onwards at various locations, in shopping malls etc.. No roadside parking should be permitted.
2. Residential building should have their own parking in basement.
3. All parking should be automated, and operated by smart cards. For this purpose all vehicle must have GPS system fitted so that their location & parking can be monitored.

1) Car Pooling in offices should be Mandatory, which will reduce the number of Vehicles
2) Automated Multilevel Parking needs to be create, Basement & Roof parking need to be created
3) Strict Car Parking policies are required. Which will make sure people should not park vehicles unwanted place.
4) Laws to purchase Vehicles as per parking availability.
5) 90 dgr, 60 dgr and 45 dgr parking lots need to be prepare for easy parking facility
