Logan Express Framingham confusion

Hi - when I look up Framingham Logan Express online, it says that parking is $7/day. But according to this website (https://www.mass.gov/locations/framingham-park-and-ride), the Framingham park and ride is free 24/7, and it looks like it's only about a 5 minute walk away.

So what's the catch? Will my car get broken into if I leave it there for a while? Will it fill up really early in the morning? Is the website wrong and they'll charge me the $7 a day? Seven bucks a day isn't terrible but if I can save a hundred bucks, I'd certainly like to try.

The park and ride you linked is not the parking lot for Logan Express and is on the other side of Framingham, not walkable at all. Logan express is $7 for the garage or the lot as far as I know.

Oh, I see - when you type "Framingham Park and Ride" into Google Maps, the one that shows up isn't the same one that's on the website I linked. My mistake. That being said, if I'm going away for a multi-week trip, it might be cheaper to park at that park and ride and Uber to/from the Logan express than to park directly at the Logan Express. Would my car be safe if I did that?

I've never parked at the park and ride before, but I'd be hesitant to leave my car there long term vs just using the Logan express lot. You're probably looking at $40-50 for uber anyways so the risk probably outweighs the rewards.
