While it didn't touch on it much I think the park and rides are hugely useful to decreasing the number of cars coming into the city.
They become more and more attractive the more scarce and expensive parking within the city is too.
The key is the "more scarce and expensive parking within the city" part. My metro area has bunches of park and rides that stay almost entirely unused because parking downtown is still too cheap and easy.
Imagine if say on the weekends they gave a free ticket in and out of the city if you use the park and ride. Once in the city they'll probably pay for transit anyway. There's less cars and should be good for local businesses.
I think this could be advantageous to many cities.
