Yes, but there's a lot more demand for the limited parking than there is for the less limited space on the trains.
Unfortunately, it means a lot of people will say "screw metro" and start driving. Which is why I've always thought they should impose some sort of toll on everyone entering the city (or taking 66 or 395 or something) and use the money to subsidize (further) public transit. Driving is simply too cheap.
