The lot at Dalhousie station in the northwest was only half full at 7:30 a.m., with grumbling drivers lining up to pay their $3.
Drivers, who said the lot was normally full by 6:30 a.m., said thrifty commuters were probably parking on residential streets or driving to the nearby Brentwood C-Train stop, where the park-and-ride is still free, but the lot was full.

A more damning response would have been if all three of the park and ride lots were completely empty. A swift kick in the nuts to City Counsel/Calgary Transit that users aren't going to accept the fee.
Quote:
Calgary Transit spokesman Ron Collins said complaints are to be expected as commuters get used to paying to park before riding at the McKnight-Westwinds, Somerset-Bridlewood and Dalhousie stations. Violators face a ticket of $40. All Park and Ride lots will charge $3 a day by the end of May.

It will be interesting to see when everything hits the fan in May...
