Since they implemented the $3 parking fee, the C train is nowhere near as busy so I couldn't ride it for free anymore. I now buy a buss pass every month ands take the express bus.
So the parking fee worked on me. I went from paying under $50 a year to over $1000.

it should be noted that the federal governmnet offers you tax credit/deduction with repsect to transit passes - i am unclear if that credit/deduction extendeds to parking lot fees. i suppose you could try and claim it and see what happens.
