It has been greatly broadcasted that the free parking would be for those that hold public transport passes. This is not accurate. What is written in the proposal is that the parking would be free for those that possess a valid transport title (this is either pass is any transport ticket).
As it has been said by the news would imply that only those that would acquire a pass would benefit and in fact is a much more broad measure.
