Now drive into the Howrah railway station parking area and drive out without any hassle or human intervention as parking fee would get automatically deducted from your FASTag. Park+, an app for car owners, announced the launch of FASTag-enabled Parking Management System at Howrah railway station on October 17. Personal and commercial vehicle owners can now use the FASTag on their car to pay for a parking spot at Howrah railway station.
The service can be used by downloading the Park+ app which also helps vehicles to discover, book and pay for a parking spot from their smartphones. Additionally, one can also access Park+ services like FASTag recharge, discover a car insurance offer, avail lowest car loans, discover a car maintenance partner, buy discounted fuel vouchers and track their challans.
Commenting on the partnership, Amit Lakhotia, founder & CEO, Park+, said: “Park+ has been making conscious efforts to partner with like-minded organisations to enhance car ownership experiences for users. As part of this strategy, we are excited to collaborate with Howrah police to bring our smart parking services to Howrah railway station. We at Park+ have taken something that has historically been painful & intimidating – finding a safe/accessible parking spot and made it effortless. Our aim is to remove parking anxiety for all car owners in Kolkata and we aim to expand our smart parking services exponentially, in the next 3-4 months.”
