Sofia Urban Environment – News in Brief
At the end of March, the Urban Mobility Center (UMC) launched a new service, allowing fast and easy mobile payment for a stay in a zone-paid parking area. The application also allows for a package payment for up to 2 hours for “blue zone” and up to 4 hours for “green zone”.
Furthermore, the new service will make it easier for foreign guests of Sofia who are not able to pay for parking via SMS, when external operators do not allow this type of payment.
Payment via SMS will also be possible, as such an option is built into the new application.
The application is available for download here: https://www.sofiatraffic.bg/bg/mobile-apps
