200 parking spaces is nowhere near big enough for a Park-and-Ride, to be honest. To call it that is going to be a little misleading - those coming from out-of-town will constantly find it full.
Denver, Charlotte, DC, even Toronto have massive lots at the extremities. The difference here I guess is that our system doesn't really go far enough "out". If it went to Sportsworld, that would have been a perfect Park-and-Ride location to capture ridership of those coming off 401.
As far as frustration/disappointment goes: I'm amazed that there isn't more talk of just how indirect the path is to walk from the station to the bus platforms.
