Very few downs have on-street parking that costs lest than 2 euro per day - I would quote the 2 euro rate here as people using the station for regular parking would have a park by text account.

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.
