Funding roads (taxes, user fees etc)

I think a lot of this would be much clearer if motorists were a smaller fraction of society. It would be obvious they are being paid for by everybody else. But in this time and place, the “everybody else” is actually a fairly small minority (doesn’t even include me, although I rarely use a private vehicle to get to and from work).

I'm not sure it doesn't. The problem is, even in a place where most take transit, even like NYC. Those making many of the decisions continue to drive.

This is even more apparent in Toronto. That's why I'm so surprised by the tolling plan.
