I think that they should axe the fee, and that everyone else should take the train as a result. It'll just my commute better (I have zero intentions of taking the train myself, just think that everyone should do it).

The pure inconvenience of the charge is enough reason to get rid of it though. I stood at the station for campaign reasons over the past couple of months and watched people struggle with the machines.

As another response, the reason that people are "entitled to free parking..." is because they are paying customers for the service. Same reason that you are given free parking at Chinook Centre or most other businesses in the city that rely on your being there.
