Čupković: We Shall Improve the Operation of „Parking Service” with Experience of the Vienna Enterprise

Andrija Čupković, Director of PUC „Parking Service”, visited Public Enterprise „Wipark Garagen“ of Vienna, engaged in garage maintenance. During discussions with Director Werner Bohm, he exchanged experience regarding the parking issues, with the aim to apply in Belgrade all solutions in this field that have proved in Vienna purposeful.

– This Vienna enterprise is in charge of 50 garages. We have exchanged our experience acquired so far with the aim to improve our operation and from our Vienna colleagues we take up all that can be appropriate for the City of Belgrade. PUE „Parking service” will in 2015 announce an international tender and thereafter, with the investor who offers the best conditions, sign a contract for public-private partnership for construction of four underground garages. We shall also solve the parking issue in clinical–hospital centres with which we have already started negotiations regarding installing of multi-floor prefabricated parking lots, by which we shall double the number of parking spaces – said Andrija Čupković.

The representatives of PUC „Parking Service” had a meeting with Executive Director of Holding Mr. Martin Kreizir, who presented them the way of operation of the integrated Vienna traffic. Experience was exchanged regarding the method of application of some traffic-related solutions from Vienna and adaptation thereof to the actual needs of Belgrade which, similarly to the capital of Austria, has a large number of narrow streets, and also was discussed the issue of connecting various means of transport. In the talks with Kreizir was searched a solution how to make at the existing stations of the “BG Train” an integrated collection within a specific software solution and how to implement automated fair collection.

The delegation of PUC „Parking Service“ will visit also the Vienna marine in order to get information also in this field, since in the Serbian capital there is no legally regulated marine. – The colleagues from the Vienna marine shared with us their experience regarding international regulations we shall observe and how to solve infrastructural issues. At the same time, we are trying to find partners for construction of the marine – said Čupković.
