That’s it? I would have thought we would have been the most expensive. That’s not really my concern as much as how much more expensive it is then just a few years ago.

Parking in Montreal is absurdly cheap. The sad thing is the city allows people to run gravel pits downtown rather than developing their lots into something of actual social and economic benefit. Never mind tolls, why not put an additional tax on each car park downtown, and why not start building municipal lots at strategically located points on the public transport network?
