Discussion Topic: Paying to Park at DART Stations

|

A probably-Paul-Kix-liking FBvian e-mailed in with this:

How about that DART board? Gasoline prices send ridership soaring and people are crowding into the parking lots at the stations. So, someone says, why don’t we charge ’em to park in the parking lots? I catch the bus at the end of my street. I guess maybe at some point they’ll consider a boarding fee at the bus stops. Oh, wait; forget I said that.

OK, before we get crazy in the comments, to be perfectly clear: DART says commuters won’t have to pay to park anytime soon. “The Board is talking about options. No plans. No vote. Just discussion,” Morgan Lyons told the DMN‘s City Hall Blog. That said, it’s never too early to hear your thoughts. Because if it’s being talked about at any level, that means there is at least some chance of it happening.
