People I know that have used Park&Rides, often tell me, after abandoning them, “It’s just easier to drive in once I’m in the car. And I hate paying to park and then the light rail fare.”

I’d also mention that, at least in Denver, the Park&Rides actually interfere with walking to our stations. The large garages and/or surface lots are often situated smack in the middle of pedestrian and bike routes. And, they use land that could be used for transit-accessible housing.

I think, although the amount paid for parking is an issue, the hassle of paying twice while rushing to work is also a factor.
Of course, in the US any charges imposed on the free use of cars is anathema, despite the wisdom of making pushing the cost/benefit balance toward public transit.
