Perfect time to site this study again. Even in fall 2019, the absolute peak of modern MBTA ridership, Alewife had more passengers accessing the station via bus than by parking at it.
Alewife also being the rapid transit station with the most available parking spaces at 2733 had hundreds of spaces left unoccupied. Braintree and Quincy Adams have terrible bus service and don't see the same numbers. This extends to Commuter Rail stations to.
If there isnt parking, people will use other modes, and even if there is parking, if theres an alternate way to comfortably and conventietnly reach the station, people will do that instead.
