There are many parking apps on the market now, and the information is very rich. However, if you park almost exclusively in Taipei City, the “Beijing Good Parking” launched by the Taipei City Government is also a good choice. In addition to the basic remaining parking spaces on the roadside and underground, and parking fees, you can also specify the type of parking space you want to check, such as charging spaces, disabled parking spaces, bicycles, tour buses, etc. There are also payment reminders and multiple payment channels, both iOS and Android versions are available.
Introduction to “Bei City Good Parking”, a parking app launched by the Taipei City Government
Beishi Good Parking download page:
After opening the Taipei Parking App, various parking information will be displayed in the Taipei City area on the map. The number represents how many parking spaces are left, and the color represents the parking lot type. It is only available in Taipei City. If you swipe to other counties and cities, there will be no information. In addition, like other apps launched by public institutions, the interface design of this one is very youthful, and it feels like an app from more than ten years ago. However, there are no ads and the operation is not smooth. It is also continuously updated:
For example, when I arrived in New Taipei City, there was no parking information:
It also supports search function. Enter the name of the place you want to go to and you can locate it directly. In addition, if there is a parking lot with a matching name, the parking lot results will also be displayed below:
Click to view the parking lot information, including total parking spaces, remaining parking spaces, name, and business hours:
If you have specified the parking lot and parking space type you are looking for, open the menu on the right and you will see the filter function. The car section supports “real-time car and motorcycle parking spaces”, “roadside parking space dynamics (parking rate)”, “shared parking spaces”, “all car parking lots” and “charging parking spaces”. It also provides motorcycle parking spaces and disabled space inquiries, especially bicycle spaces, roadside unloading spaces, taxi parking lots, etc. It is really rich in information:
Taking charging parking spaces as an example, after setting, the parking information on the map will only display parking lots with charging parking spaces and the number of remaining positions:
The roadside dynamics will display the parking status of this road section in color. Red means that many people are parking, and green means that most of the roadside parking spaces are empty:
Similarly, click on the road section to view relevant parking information, including remaining roadside parking spaces, charging time, and charging standards. Also pay attention to the update time. If it’s a long time since you checked, it may not be that accurate. In addition, red does not mean there is no space, it just means there are too many stops:
You can also check shared parking spaces:
It is highly recommended to add parking lots where you park frequently to your favorites, so that you can open this menu later to get information about the remaining parking spaces in these parking lots:
It also provides parking fee inquiry functions, including payment reminder notification service, unpaid/paid inquiry, and repeated payment inquiry:
Payment reminder notifications are supported for both cars and motorcycles. Once added, they will appear in your vehicle list:
Various commonly used payment channels are also included. Clicking will jump to the payment platform:
As far as parking in Taipei City is concerned, Taipei Good Parking is indeed a pretty good app with complete functions that can meet almost all parking needs. However, in addition to this app, I also recommend downloading another parking app for comparison (or using this app as a backup) to ensure that the remaining parking space information is accurate.
