Funding roads (taxes, user fees etc)

[MidTowner]

This is a silly way of looking at the issue - because, again, drivers are paying for the road in other ways.  Its really disingenuous to compare user fees directly between public transit and road networks while ignoring that the road network has a much bigger user base and those people are funding it through their taxes.

You can't disagree that the road network is subsidized 100% from tax revenue, while public transit is subsidized only 50% (or whatever exact figure, depending the jurisdiction, but about that here) from tax revenue.
