Why $7.50? Pheidippides suggested making it equal to the GRT's cash fare, which is $3.25, or $6.50 for a two-way trip. I guess a two-way cash fare could be the level used, though even I think that's a little high.
It doesn't presume that everyone has the option to use GRT downtown. But it does presume that, in general, that's the way we want people to get downtown. Parking revenue could even be used to improve service to make it more useful for more people. Of course, diverting parking revenue to pay for transit is also politically probably impossible here.
