Surely people able to go place to place easily and quickly (and presumably generate tax income at those places) is worth more than whatever fare they paid to get there?
- PeterStuer 4y agoYes, except for the car industry, which has a massive lobbying arm.

- balderdash 4y agoI think this is true in aggregate, but not at the margin where you are making the decisions. Marginal utility should theoretically decline as you increase capacity (five lane road, six lane road, seven lane road - ignoring capacity induced demand for a moment), if the marginal rider is not willing to spend $2.5 to get where they are going how valuable can the economic activity be at their destination?
