Default GA User fees

Note that
highways are actually NEGATIVELY subsidized (i.e. federal gasoline taxes
provide more revenues than federal highway funding).


Yes, AAA makes a point of that all the time. The argument (and it's not
unreasonable) is that by subsidizing public transport, drivers benefit
by having fewer other cars on the road. This is, in fact, a very real
benefit to drivers. It also happens to be a benefit to subway riders.

All transportation is linked like this. No piece can be fairly
considered in isolation.
