This makes me wonder, out of the people that are voting yes or no, how many people are using transit?
I say yes and I take transit twice a day.

So you think the addition of the parking fee will improve Calgary Transit? How? It won't pay for the upgrade of nearly every station to handle 4 cars. It won't pay to have parking lots monitored.
That's the thing. If the City said, "With the $3 parking fee, we will do X", then I could see people perhaps getting on board - depending on what X was of course. But a blanket $3 user fee, plus an increase in rates that really do nothing for the everyday rider is what I find stupid.
