Well really that
is a valid form of security. Authority presence during the day when it would otherwise be a desolate place where hundreds of cars are parked with very few "eyes on the street."
There have also been bike patrols added.

All I have to go on is anecdotes, but I've heard from some people that feeder bus use seemed to increase in the weeks after the park and ride fees were implemented.
Another pro to add to your list is that many lots do not fill up at 7:30 AM or earlier, so someone who wants to park there at, say, 9:45 AM on a weekday has that option when they didn't before. This increases the usability of the system.
