Indeed parking rates are humongous !
That is missing on Vancouver as parking is still far too cheap especially outside of downtown. But buses are not a viable alternative if slower , sweatier in summer (no A/C ), crammed, noisy, wobbly and uncomfortable !
We need more subways or elevated trains to get folks out of their cars !
