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.

Hey i would pay the money i would pay $5 a month if i could actually get a parking spot. Now they want to take away parking. So imagine if downtown lost half its parking and started charging 3 times more. People would be complaining.
Once again i understand their are options, but a lot of people don't have $900 dollars a year extra. Maybe they should move or leave the city all together, but it is harder than writing it on a forum.
I still think the City is going to have a huge issue of people flooding the neighborhoods. Then why would anyone want to live close to a station if they can't park outside their house?
