Washington

By taking away parking, that mean that people need to get to the transit centers by other means, generally infrequent buses that don't always go to the actual station. This is a problem when it's late at night, when it's bad weather, if you are carrying packages, if you are disabled or elderly, or sometimes just being a woman riding alone. It also lengthens the trip because you have to switch from one train or bus to another. Sound Transit has added huge amounts of time to my commute. My 11-15 minute bus ride downtown can now take up to 40 minutes. That's a significant difference.

Of course, they make up for lack of parking by not having enough seating on the light rail. Half the people riding in the morning have to stand. Again, that's a problem if you are carrying anything. I like to stop at the grocery when I go into the office and juggling my laptop and a bag of groceries is really difficult when I have to stand.
