Considering that the CTrain is basically a commuter rail system focused on getting people from the suburbs into the core and vice versa, yes the City can justify those prices. Although Calgary does not have an expansive public transport and cycle network as NYC outside of the core, it also does not have a restrictive parking fee schedule in these areas forcing people to take substandard transit to and from these areas.
