URBIX Parking - Solução Inteligente para o Estacionamento Urbano

We're building a network of Solidarity Drivers in Ericeira. Less stress, more cooperation. Join the official launch in August and help us change the streets together.

The Manifesto: Chaos Only Exists Because We Accept It

Anyone who drives in Portugal knows: parking has become synonymous with stress, wasted time, and conflict. We've accepted as "normal" driving in circles, double-parking, or leaving our phone numbers on the windshield. In other cases, we're the ones blocked in with no way to reach the other driver.

We don't accept it anymore.

URBIX is born from a simple manifesto: cities belong to people, and mobility should be collaborative. We, the drivers, have the power to change the streets today.

The Two Tools of the Solidarity Driver

The License Plate Messenger: Forget scraps of paper or exposing your number. Simply enter their plate into the platform — the message is sent 100% anonymously. We also provide a physical QR windshield sticker: the blocked driver scans the code and instantly alerts you to move — no arguments, no drama.

The URBIX Parking App: The technology that eliminates driving in circles. The app matches you in real-time with a Solidarity Driver leaving near your destination just seconds before you arrive. You arrive, the spot opens up, you park on the first try.

The Power is in Your Hands: Ericeira in August

This campaign is about proving that drivers coming together can change the rules. We chose Ericeira for our official launch this August — the country's first stronghold of smart, solidarity-driven parking.

By backing, you are creating the critical mass required for our matching algorithm to work flawlessly from day one.

Change doesn't come from the top down — it comes from us. Become a Solidarity Driver.

About the author

Hi! My name is Andrii Mandryk. I'm Ukrainian, but I chose the charming village of Ericeira as my home — the place where I live, create, and build my projects. As co-founder of URBIX, I lead an international team of engineers, designers, and urban mobility enthusiasts.

As the only team member based here in Portugal, I feel firsthand — especially now, with the summer buzz in Ericeira — the exact same traffic and parking frustrations as every other driver in our community.

We decided to combine our team's global talent and technology expertise to build a practical solution that is entirely people-centred and privacy-respecting. For us, URBIX is far more than an app: it's a civic movement to make our streets more fluid, human, and collaborative.
