Somerset is empty? If so, then I stand corrected. Evidence from people on this board has indicated that the lots on the ends of all 3 of the C-train lines are normally quite a bit fuller than the more inner city stations. I am not talking about stops 4-5 in from the end of the line here.
Before the $3 Park and Ride fare was added, I tried to drive to get on at Somerset and I was there about 7:15 or so and it was full without fail. I haven't been back but people have indicated it is still full fairly early.
The point is, the post I was referring to said the parking cost should be cheaper in Somerset than in Anderson. Why have a higher price where the lot is half empty and less where the lot is chronically full? Especially if the purpose is to both encourage people to take transit and maximize the money coming in to the system so people who live here don't need to pay through the nose to make up a $60 million shortfall.
