The smou app already accounts for 40% of payments for regulated parking in blue and green parking spaces, both in Barcelona and the Metropolitan Area. In total, more than 390,000 people make use of this functionality, which generates a total of 18,000 transactions per day.

In this way, the app has become a convenient, practical and secure channel for making parking payments, and it replaces the use of paper with a digital ticket, contributing to sustainability and care for the environment.

The parking meter on your mobile phone: in Barcelona and 10 other municipalities

smou allows you to manage parking in blue and green parking spaces in the city of Barcelona and 10 other metropolitan municipalities (Badalona, Castelldefels, Esplugues de Llobregat, El Prat de Llobregat, l'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Montgat, Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Sant Boi de Llobregat, Sant Joan Despí and Sant Just Desvern) from your mobile phone, paying only for the exact amount of time you park. Thanks to smou, it is not necessary to locate a physical parking meter, as the application itself acts as such. In addition, the app is integrated with conventional parking meters, allowing users to finish their operations manually if their mobile device has an incident or runs out of battery.

Parking regulation in the city

AREA, the integrated on-street parking regulation system, is one of the essential tools for sustainable mobility management in the city of Barcelona. It aims to regulate the demand for on-street parking by optimising the space available. This reduces private vehicle travel and encourages the use of more sustainable and less polluting means of transport.

A more organised mobility in a single application

smou makes available to everyone, in a single application, a multitude of services that promote planned, organised, safe, digital, connected and integrated mobility. In just three years, more than 500,000 people use the app every day to get around Barcelona and the Metropolitan Area.
