It is pertinent to mention here that BMC has decided to launch Electronic Ticketing Machines (ETMs) at all vehicle parking lots in the city to ensure transparency for which necessary steps are being taken to introduce ticketing machines.
Once the ETMs are introduced, action will be taken against the vendors issuing manual tickets. The BMC has roped in Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited (BSCL) to implement the project.
“The e-ticketing system is aimed at streamlining the parking service besides ensuring transparency in collection of fees,” BMC Commissioner Vijay Amruta Kulange said.
The civic body is also planning to provide POS machines to selected vendors to collect parking fees to encourage digital transactions.
