Screw buying a pass or tickets then, just ride it for free and take advantage of the 'honor system.' Now with half the cops there to enforce it. $3 for parking just means your tickets now have been reduced to $1.50 each way.
Not saying I advocate actually doing this, but the incentive to do this and the legitimacy of City Council over this budget fiasco points to a lot less ridership and a lot less paying riders among that ridership translating to a lot less 'extra revenue' than what was envisioned. The city is sometimes hilarious in their stupidity.
