That depends on where they are going. A lot of people from my area park in Liffey Valley and take a bus into town from there. I never suggested people we being logical about it. The fact is that many if not most people have an irrational love for their car and they are just looking for an excuse to persuade themselves that they might as well drive. The 3 euro parking charge is often just such an excuse.
Hard to justify the parking cahrge in most instances. Ok it may not be a huge charge but it does add up over a year's commuting and probably deprives Irish Rail of more revenue in diverted journeys than the pittance they get from the car park operator. Public resistance is obvious.
