When I worked at Bantrel a lot of people in the NW complained about being moved to the Glenmore & Elbow location. However free parking changed a lot of people's views on that.

Hypothetically, if a bunch of stuff changed, I'd be happy to work in quarry park.
My point was mainly that uber expensive parking isn't necessary for people to keep taking transit downtown. Traffic and parking that's only expensive not extortionate means that people would still take the train, and cheaper parking would benefit a number of other users of downtown other than commuting 9 to 5ers. I'd take the train even with free parking. I can't read while driving, the train takes about the same amount of time, and it saves me buying a second car.
