Vice-Mayor presumes parking rate per hour will be at least 50 tetris

The parking rate per hour will be at least 50 tetris in Tbilisi, - Vice-Mayor Irakli Khmaladze told InterPressNews, but did not rule out the rates to further increase.

According to him, at the first stage, the new parking system will be introduced on Leselidze Street from July 1.

"We will have a meeting in the City Assembly this week. My idea is the minimal rate to be 50 tetris, but the rates will vary according to streets. We should determine the minimal rate and observe the situation. If the 50-tetri rate does not turn out to be effective, we will further increase the rate. It is not our aim to receive income, our aim is to reduce the number of cars in the capital”, Irakli Khmaladze said.

In addition, according to teh Vice-Mayor, employees will not be able to enjoy any discount for parking a car near their office.
