Taking a step forward to being a smart city, the municipal corporation in collaboration with Auribises Technologies (MC) has launched a mobile app 'Finlo' to facilitate residents find parking lots across the city on Friday. MC additional commissioner Ghanshyam Thori said the app would not only help residents find parking lots, but also stop fleecing by contractors at parking lots, as the app contains all the information like parking rates.
Ishant Kumar -- a software engineer who has developed the app -- said the app would include government, private, and free parking lots. So, residents would be able to find parking space on their mobile phones. Further, he said through the app, they are also mulling removal of manual receipts which are issued at parking lots. He said after residents register themselves by putting details like the registration number of their vehicles, a unique bar code would be given to the car, and whenever the car moves into the parking lots, then the contractor's men would just have to scan that bar code with the help of the app, and a message would be sent to the mobile of the car owner, and when the car moves out of the parking lot, again a message would be sent. Further, they would also be working to start online payments at parking lots.
MC chief GK Singh said soon the app will be handed over to contractors at parking lots, and manual receipts will be stopped.
