According to him, this is "a huge part of the entire transport strategy."

“If there were no paid parking lots, I think that in the center it would simply not be possible to drive. When we introduced paid parking, our number of cars in the center decreased by 25-30%, ”RIA Novosti quoted Sobyanin as saying.

He said that at present, the expansion of the paid parking zone is not being considered, and also noted that "some local solutions are possible when transport and transfer hubs, new metro stations are introduced."

“We need to watch what happens. I believe that the parking system was 90% completed, ”the mayor added.

As the newspaper Izvestia previously wrote, the Administrator of the Moscow Parking Space reported that it would be possible to park cars for free on Moscow streets on New Year's holidays.
