Myself and my wife take one car to work downtown everyday. We pay $10.00 to park. The reason we drive is simply economic. It now costs us $14 to take public transit and park and ride. We actually pay $20 less a week to drive than take public transit. Great message the city is sending there
I actually feel really bad for the people that have to take transit out of economic necessity. It's getting kind of steep.
I'm usually the one advocating that you should pay for the services you use, but I think $2.50 was more than a fair price for public transit (unless they want to go to a tier'd system like they have in Vancouver).
