Smart parking lot to open soon in Beijing

A multistory parking lot that can be accessed by mobile phone app is expected to open in Beijing before the end of the month.

Similar parking lots may be introduced across the city to relieve serious traffic congestion and a severe shortage of parking spaces, according to the operator.

Ma Limin, chairman of Beijing Easy Parking Static Transport Investment Co, a private company in Beijing, said the lot provides 64 parking spaces and is located near a hospital in Tongzhou district.
