Budapest city council plans to standardise and transform the parking system, according to deputy mayor Ambrus Kiss.

Deputies could vote on a related proposal next Wednesday. If they approve the proposals, they could enter into force from September.

The city is to be divided into four parking zones with four differing rates, in contrast to the 27 different parking zones that exist today, HVG writes.

Parking would cost Ft 600 per hour from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the most central zone, while Ft 450 per hour in the second zone between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Parking in the third zone will cost Ft 300 per hour from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., while the price in the fourth will be Ft 200 from 8 a.m. to noon.
