MBTA relenting on parking or messing with commuters?

Imagine my surprise when I go to pay my parking fee at Middleboro/Lakeville and see a "New Parking Rate $3.00/day" sign! The MBTA has heard our pleas and compromised with us! Hooray!

Imagine my utter confusion when I see a sign that contradicts this 3 feet to the right.

What gives?
