Parking⁽¹⁾ has been a problem for   drivers for a long time in Taizhou . The Transportation⁽²⁾Department⁽³⁾ is mapping⁽⁴⁾ out a new plan for the city's parking⁽¹⁾system⁽⁵⁾ . There are about 100 thousand cars on the road in   Taizhou but only enough parking⁽¹⁾ space to provide room for   15 percent of these vehicles⁽⁶⁾ . It is no wonder that   local drivers get so worried⁽⁷⁾ trying to find a place to   park .

The   number of the private car owners is becoming larger and larger . In   March , the city sent out 1 ,000 private car licenses , the   highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month . And prices rose   to over 200 yuan , 500 more than in February⁽⁸⁾ . Industry experts⁽⁹⁾ say this suggests that local people have a strong ,   active interest in buying⁽¹⁰⁾ cars   .

By   the year 2020 , the number of cars in Taizhou will probably reach 200   thousand . If one parking⁽¹⁾ lot is for each car , then   a lot of parking⁽¹⁾ space should be built for   these vehicles⁽⁶⁾ . The center of Taizhou is   the shortest parking⁽¹⁾ space . However , experts⁽⁹⁾ point out that simply⁽¹¹⁾ building   more parking⁽¹⁾ lots in these areas is not practical⁽¹²⁾ and doesn't solve the problem . The idea of "   Park & Ride " system⁽⁵⁾ has been suggested . This   means that underground⁽¹³⁾ train   and city train should be developed quickly . Drivers can leave their vehicles⁽⁶⁾ in car parks near subway⁽¹⁴⁾ and bus stations and then they can ride public transport   to go to the city center . Based on this idea , the city will cut down the   number of parking⁽¹⁾ lots in the city center and   need higher parking⁽¹⁾fees⁽¹⁵⁾ .   But it will build more parking⁽¹⁾ areas near main subway⁽¹⁴⁾ and bus stops .
