A)given a parking pass along with their ticket.
B)required to pay for parking.
C)able to purchase an annual pass which allows them to park at the train station.
D)exempt from parking lot fees.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Requiring commuters to pay for parking would help to ensure that those who use the lot are serious about taking the train, and would therefore be less likely to fill up the lot with cars that are not being used. It would also generate revenue to put towards maintaining and expanding the parking facilities as needed. Giving all commuters a parking pass or exempting them from fees could actually exacerbate the issue by attracting more cars to the lot than it can handle. Allowing travelers to purchase an annual pass might be a good option, but would still allow for overcrowding if too many people opted to buy one.
