I know the haters are going to jump all over me but I do not use transit and will most likely not use it in the future. Yes I own a car and yes it is because of convenience and efficiency that I choose to drive. It is just too easy to get around in this city by car. Taking away parking or raising the price of parking significantly will not encourage me to use transit over driving. It may play a part in which businesses and services that I choose to frequent. I am not a transit hater. I’m all for transit. I used transit during my school and early work years. I just don’t see a lot of people in this Region choosing transit over their car. Those that live a short walk to an LRT stop may choose to do so if their destination is along the line. Also reducing fare prices would most likely increase transit trips for those that do not own a car and already use transit. I’m just trying to show another perspective.
