According www.bogota.gov.co Mayor Luis Eduardo Garzon said: "This measure seeks to combat informality, illegality and thus improve the quality of service." The ceiling established for this service is the result of several studies on the value thereof, the maintenance of facilities and the cost of insurance policies. For its part, District Administration pledged to combat informality and create a table of assessment that takes into account recommendations of the Mobility Master Plan and thus achieve unify criteria on the parking.

Under Article City Stories is clear that Bogota has been creating a monopoly in the business of both legal and illegal parking. Currently there is a business group that owns three of the most recognized companies in this area. This group has the largest market share, with a total of 100 points across the city targeted mainly at the center, sector university hospital sectors in the T zone and the street 93.

In this way all around the city are several deals in the parking fees. In the field of 93 with prices ranging from 800 pesos. In the 85 parking lots become a little more expensive, do not drop below a thousand dollars and even some up to 1,300. Moreover by sector 46 and 48, university campuses, prices range between 400 and 600 pesos and so rates are transformed in different parts of the city.
