As much as we hate government involvement in general, I think it

What subsidies?

What revenues do they get? Do they run at a loss?

There isn't a single mode of transportation: airline, GA, rail, bus,
personal auto, in this country (and most) that doesn't operate with
some form of massive government subsidy.

It even extends down to bicycling and hiking trails and the sidewalk in front of your
house, for that matter. Infrastructure is one of those things that can't generally be
built, maintained, and paid for by individuals or private industry. So the political
battles are not over "whether to" but "who" and "what" and "how much".
