Plus, lets not kid ourselves here, people pay for transit to begin with. They are not getting a free ride at all. The cost of providing parking didn't suddenly enter the picture, and the cost of transit didn't double just before this new charge was implemented at all.

Bottom line to me is that we should encourage more use of transit. This charge does the exact opposite of that.
Has it reduced ridership or has it just reduced the number of people who park at the stations?
