A new agreement has been signed between the city of Paris and the managers of underground car parks, in order to offer preferential offers for parking thermal two-wheelers. This is one of the last steps before parking spaces on public roads become chargeable for this type of vehicle.
Initially, the city of Paris had planned to make parking on public roads chargeable for thermal scooters and motorcycles from January 1, 2022. This measure was finally postponed to refine the project, which takes a whole new turn with regard to the agreement reached between elected officials and underground car park managers.
The agreement in question was voted on Wednesday June 1, 2022 by the Council of Paris, relates The Parisian, very knowledgeable about this case. The idea is to submit preferential offers to drivers of thermal two-wheelers in order to free up public space. Above all, this step is one of the last before the implementation of paid parking, expected on September 1.
Parking packages
Several packages have been designed according to the type of driver. Parisian residents will, for example, have the choice between an annual card of 22.50 euros to park near their home, as explained The worldor a daily rate of 0.75 euro.
Simple visitors will have to pay an amount of 3 euros per hour in zone 1 (from the 1st to 11th arrondissement) or 2 euros per hour in zone 2 (from the 12th to 20th arrondissement). The agreement with car park managers also paves the way for monthly flat rates of 90 euros and 70 euros, in zones 1 and 2 respectively.
A special subscription in the name of Pass-2RM will allow non-Parisian users, but who practice their profession within the City of Light, to take advantage of advantageous prices in the said car parks: 1.20 euros per hour in zone 1 and 80 cents of the time in zone 2, precise The Parisian.
Finally, doubt persists as to the amount of the post-parking package – which replaces a fine in the event of a paid parking violation. In the summer of 2021, The world reported an overall increase for all areas: 70 euros in the center of the capital, 50 euros in the rest of the districts.
The market for electric scooters in ambush
The infographic of Le Parisien advances different and less expensive figures, from 37.50 and 25 euros. The fact is that free parking for thermal two-wheelers should indeed come to an end next September. A strong change that should push many users to think about buying an electric scooter.
The market for trendy scooters has been growing more and more for a few months and should probably be rubbing its hands by the end of 2022. The time will obviously be for the accounts and the various calculations to define whether or not, owning a thermal two-wheeler is still worth it and the cost in Paris.
