The same with the mass transit system with which I'm most familiar.
On the limited behalf of these people, they built the system to the max of their budget. Wasn't a cent left to make anything bigger.
At the time, it was difficult to tell how popular these "Park 'n' Ride" affairs would be. The problem is that as traffic gets worse and worse, the idea becomes more and more viable. So a system built to the maximum budget of one era finds it difficult to meet increased needs of the next.
I can imagine the screaming if the transit system would have had to ask for money to build for the parking projected for 20 years later.
And, it's sad to see the cars circling in order to ride mass transit. Though those same cars could be circling downtown, too.
