It blows my mind that people complain about a transit pass for $80/month and $3/day parking when parking downtown is $30/day?!?! I guess it's cheaper if you go on a monthly pass, but in my building (underground & heated) it's over $500/month now. Plus you use extra gas to get downtown and back vs. parking at a c-train station close to your 'burb.
Depends where you work I guess (if you don't work downtown then yeah, it's crappy they are charging for parking now), but it doesn't make sense to me that people who work downtown could complain about this. Still gotta be saving >$300/month by taking transit vs driving.
Edit: Oh yeah, and your transit passes are also a tax deduction so... more transit $$ savings through that.
