In the territory of Ruse, when parking in short-term paid parking zones, the payment of the due fee is made via SMS sent to phone number 1382 or by purchasing a ticket from a parking machine. The validity of the paid fee is 1 hour, after which a new fee must be paid.
The parking regime is valid only on working days (Monday to Friday), from 08:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
