I think that's getting to a point where transit isn't looking like an economically viable solution.

Parking in my office tower is $600 per month so $145 doesn't seem that bad. You also have to factor in gas, insurance, extra maintence, owning a 2nd vehicle etc. If I lived in the suburbs I'd easily take the C-train to work.
We used to provide parking stalls to our employees (taxable) but we changed that a few years back to instead give our employees $600 per month (taxable) parking allowances. They get the choice to find parking or find other options like public transit. I walk to work so before I rented out my stall but I know many now are using public transit because it's much more affordable and they can use the difference towards better things.
