The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation’s digital parking initiative, MC One Pass, has crossed the 2,000-subscriber mark within weeks of its launch, indicating a steady shift among city commuters towards cashless and subscription-based parking.

Introduced to streamline parking operations at municipal parking sites, the scheme allows users to park vehicles on a monthly basis at fixed rates of Rs 250 for two-wheelers and ₹500 for four-wheelers.

MC officials said the uptake suggests growing acceptance of digital solutions that reduce daily cash payments and disputes at parking locations.

MC Commissioner Amit Kumar said the response to the scheme reflected public preference for convenience and transparency in civic services.

“People are opting for MC One Pass because it saves time, avoids daily transactions and brings predictability to parking,” he said, adding that the corporation would work towards expanding the scheme to more locations.

MC officials said the digital pass has helped ease on-ground issues by enabling faster entry and exit at parking sites, while also improving monitoring of collections. With payments being made online, the system has reduced manual handling of cash and complaints related to overcharging.

The civic body is now looking at widening the coverage of MC One Pass to additional municipal parking lots, particularly in high-traffic areas. Awareness drives are also being planned to encourage more daily commuters to opt for the monthly pass.
