I just realized that there are two similar discussions happening in both the Grand River Transit thread, and here. What I think the conversation is about is how to increase transit ridership. It also seems to have to do a lot with parking...or maybe the so-called "war on the car." Where's best to discuss?
Re: parking charges. It's not entirely about "discouraging" anything. Why shouldn't someone pay for what he uses? Again, if you walk or take transit to a business that offers "free" parking, you are paying for parking that someone else uses. That's inequitable, and doesn't help the parking users make efficient choices.
