When I commuted from Cambridge to UW, to save the cost of on-campus parking, I parked at Conestoga Mall and took the iXpress to campus for free. There were usually others doing the same thing.
Exactly, you were motivated by the inconvenience and expense of parking. Out of curiosity, why Conestoga and not Fairway....or Sportsworld...or even somewhere in Cambridge....at Conestoga, seems like you've already driven past UW.
As for finding a spot downtown, studies have shown our parking tops out at 70% utilization. There are always spots. But hey, if people want to take transit because they have the perception that there's no parking, that's great.
