I think this is an EXCELLENT idea because guess what? High demand for Park and Ride parking means the City should be jacking up the price. This way, people will look at driving as less of an option, might decide to take other forms of transportation to work, or could even car pool to the Park 'n Rides. Four people in a car? For less than a dollar per day, you can still get to work, reduce the number of cars on the road, create a less demand for infrastructure funding, and help promote the environment.

It's a good idea all around.
So, by jacking up the price of parking AT THE TRANSIT STATION it will make people want to take transit? That's well thought out.

This is making the cost of parking downtown relatively cheaper when compared to transit.
