Parking meters
To pay for parking you will need your car's license plate number. Parking meters are multilingual,once you have selected the language, you must first choose what type of rate to adopt. The system offers five (from 0 to 5), but the only one that concerns short-term parking is number 1, all the others are reserved for license plates registered with the Municipality.
Once you have chosen the tariff, you proceed with inserting coins or the electronic payment card and the license plate number. After that, the coupon is issued.
Motorcycles
Motorcycles have small special stalls and are subject to the same tariff as cars.
Buses
The circulation of tourist buses is subject to separate regulations. Tourist buses pay a daily toll that cannot be divided. Passengers must be dropped off at a checkpoint in Via Michele Viterbo (near the sports hall), then continuing on foot for another 700 meters to reach the monumental trulli area "Rione Monti". The bus driver with the coupon collected at the check-point must leave the vehicle in one of the two dedicated parking lots in Contrada Popoleto (near the municipal stadium) or in Viale Putignano (near the cemetery).
