Now, you can find the nearest public parking lot (PPL), thanks to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) new parking module. With the module on the MCGM 24X7 android app, citizens can find a PPL or bus depot for parking within a radius of 500 metres to 5 kms from their location. The BMC is planning to develop the app further so citizens will know what parking space is available in a selected PPL or bus depot.

The BMC aims to make traffic management in the city better, and to do so, the parking module was launched on Monday. The application can be downloaded and installed on mobile phones. But those who have it already installed can update it or uninstall and re-install it to get the parking module.
