Moscow is being proposed a referendum on the abolition of paid parking
The promises of the Moscow authorities that the introduction of paid parking would help relieve the city of traffic congestion did not come true - on the contrary, traffic jams in the capital only became larger.
Vadim Kumin, a candidate for mayor of Moscow from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and left-wing patriotic forces, stated this at the MosSoviet-2018 conference, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Of course, our main hatred is parking. When paid parking was introduced, what they told us was that it would relieve the city of congestion and make it clean. What does Yandex traffic show now? That the traffic jams have only gotten worse. All this has turned into a machine to extort money from you and me.
I propose to ban this matter and hold a referendum on whether we need paid parking at all,” he said.
“None of you and I are able to pay 200 rubles an hour. If you multiply by eight hours – 1600 rubles per day. We must put 35 thousand a month in the pocket of Maxim Liksutov and others like him. As for traffic jams, my colleagues and I calculated, it turns out that every car owner spends twenty days a year in Moscow traffic jams. If we assume that we are stuck in traffic jams for two hours a weekday.
Twenty days a year we are stuck in Sobyanin-Liksutov traffic jams. This must be stopped immediately, canceled as soon as possible,” says Vadim Kumin.
