Tay Ho district in Hanoi has started a new system for collecting parking fees that doesn’t require cash. This is being tested as part of Project 06 on the National Digital Transformation of the Government. The first area to try it is around the Tay Ho Palace ceremony area and Tran Quoc Pagoda. This new payment method has made things faster and easier for people who park their cars or motorbikes in the area. It has also helped with traffic, security, and safety during the New Year holidays.
In the area, there are four parking lots, three for cars and one for motorbikes. All of them now accept cashless payments and show the prices publicly. This has made it easier for people to know how much they will have to pay and has stopped them from being overcharged.
The police in the area have said that the new way of paying has also helped with traffic and made things more organized. During the Tet peak, many cars and motorbikes were coming and going, but there were no traffic jams or thefts.
Collecting cashless parking fees has also made things easier for the government to manage. They can now collect data more easily and prevent any money from being lost.
In addition to the parking lots, restaurants and businesses around the area are encouraged to accept cashless payments. This will make things easier for people and stop thieves from stealing.
The government is planning to expand this new way of paying to other areas such as temples, pagodas, and airports in the future.
