It’s a story that has had some West Island residents upset for months.

Commuters at the Pierrefonds-Roxboro AMT train station are being asked to pay to park their cars.
Global’s Tim Sargeant has been following this story since it first broke back in June.
The AMT announced that 171 parking spots out of 887 will be reserved for train users who are willing to pay $80 a month for a guaranteed spot.
That leaves everyone else to fight for the remaining free parking.
“I’m standing on the platform having battled for the last space 40 minutes early than my train,” said Sandy Weigens, who takes the AMT.

Many viewers pointed out that a train pass is already very expensive, and took to our social media sites to share frustrations.
Ellison Chan – “It’s not a failure for them. An extra $80 a month for everyone taking the train is not a bad haul.”
