Re (2): public roads burden all with the cost of roads (and inducing car travel). We don't expect roads to make money, as far as I'm aware.

- foogazi 4y agoBut cars are not free
- zeusk 4y agonor is their fuel - electric or oil.
- itronitron 4y agoshoes aren't free either
- solar-ice 4y agoCool, so you would like the Government to fund construction and maintenance of the rails as long as the operation of trains is ticketed? :)
- baud147258 4y agoFor roads, it depends on the country. For example in France you have to pay toll money to use most interstates
- kergonath 4y agoYeah, and that's after they had been publicly funded, amortised, and then sold on the cheap to private company. The perfect example of how not to do it. It used to be done properly, for things like long bridges and such, where there would be a toll until the invested money was recovered. Also, there is still the extensive network of nationales, départementales, and other streets and avenue that are still free.
