Without proper funding I am not sure how much improvement rethinking can make.
Look at downtown Toronto for what has happened to all the lots. I am talking about a similar thing with those parking lots near GO stations.
Just to compare one 'similar' trip.
I looked up Kitchener GO to Union Station.
Distance vs Distance
Metra, Chicago Union to Fox Lake: 87km
GO: Toronto Union to KW 101km
Travel Time:
Metra: 1hr 37
GO: 1hr 54
Price:
Metra: 12.53 CAD
GO: 16.32 CAD (Presto Fare)
Price per KM:
Metra: 0.14
GO: 0.16
But....METRA charges for Parking at Fox Lake Station!! $1.50USD per day or $2CAD
Adjusted price with parking
Metra: 14.53CAD
GO 16.32CAD
Price per Km:
Metra: 0.167
GO:.0.144
So, start charging thee same as a round trip local fare is.
