Toronto is considering raising parking fees and lowering transit fares during concerts and sports games to encourage people to take public transit rather than their car (www.blogto.com)

100% they should do this. If you're buying GO fares for more than 2 people it's often cheaper to buy parking.

And all the major stadiums are steps from Union station.

How about raising parking fees and lowering transit fares in general, not just during certain times?

Or removing free street parking and making all transit free?

Buy a ticket to an event, free transit across all GO, Metrolinx, TTC, Presto, UP express....

As a Dutch citizen I’m jealous.

The Netherlands has a far more advanced and accessible network of public transit than anything the TTC has on offer. You've zero reason to be jealous.

Can you explain why, I'm living in the Netherlands and the transit here is amazing?
