So the parking fee worked on me. I went from paying under $50 a year to over $1000.
opposite for me, i'd buy the ticket books but with free parking it wasn't that bad. now that there's an extra $3, it made me look for parking alternatives downtown. now i never take the train anymore, and i don't pay that much more per month than if i were still using transit
