So the parking fee worked on me. I went from paying under $50 a year to over $1000.

So the C-trains are being utilized less. The exact opposite of what Nenshi wants. I would also assume that the people who aren't using the c-train still have places to go, so the roads are busier than they were before.
They need to be fighting the people who don't pay for the train service, not charging people who park their cars and use the eco-friendly alternative.
