No, because the point is that cars specifically are Pretty Bad for cities (noise, air quality, inefficient use of space, dangerous) and should be discouraged (and economic incentives work). Mass transit is generally far less bad and should be encouraged by economic means. NYC sort-of does this by not using zone fares, so long trips from far-away areas (read: poor parts of the city) cost as much as a brief trip through a rich area.
