However, the City Council has revised the charges for visitors and residents in this part of town. At a meeting on Tuesday, October 23 the council decided that visitors and residents will not pay for their first car for six months.
Those who have already paid the first car fee of CZK 600 may apply for a refund, as reported by Czech online daily iDnes.cz (“Start druhé vlny modrých zón v Brně se neposune, ale řidiči ušetří”).
