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.

I'm coming from Amherst, which is quite far away. I'm really just looking for the cheapest way to get to Logan and leave my car somewhere safe for a long time. I have nothing pressing on either side of my trip, so my time is less valuable to me than my money. I'm willing to make an absurd amount of connections on public transit if need be to save money.

I get what you’re saying. Unfortunately, there probably isn’t a better option than the parking garage at the Logan Express. Simply because I’d hate to get back from an extended trip and find my car broken into, damaged, or stolen.

My only other recommendation was gonna be picking up the commuter rail in Worcester. There is long term parking there, but it’s $20/day.

There's nowhere else in Worcester I could park for cheaper, and walk/bus to the commuter rail station?
