But maximum city’s worries could be minimised with a first-of-its-kind robotic car park system.
The multi-storied parking system in the city's posh Breach Candy area boasts of a fully automated technology that can park and retrieve your car within one minute.
The robotic eyes or sensors detect the dimensions of the vehicle after you swipe for an e-ticket and all this is done with minimal human interface.
"On an average, a five-metre-long car occupies space on the pavement. With this multi-storied parking, over one km of space will be free," says chief marketing officer, Akruti Skypark, Jinesh Soonawala.
Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC) and real-estate company Akruti City have developed the high-tech skypark as a pilot project with a cost a whopping Rs 25 crore.
The municipal corporation in partnership with Akruti city, a private real-estate company have developed the hi-tech skypark as a pilot project for a whopping 25 crore rupees.
The BMC has identified six other locations for replicating this model.
But multi-storied car parks in other cities haven’t seen a smooth ride.
While the mechanised parking lot in Pune's Sambhaji road — built at a cost of 2 crore — is lying unused, Chennai's grand plans for seven car parking lots are waiting for approvals and sanctions to come through.
