The vast vast majority of street damage comes from heavy trucks. Cars and light trucks likely do pay for their road usage (a car causes something like 1/10000th the wear as a tractor trailer).
- scoofy 4y agoIf there is no per-mile fare, then there is no incentive not to use the road. Using gasoline as a proxy does not charge the people using complex and expensive overpasses more than people using surface streets. There is no incentive to minimize construction and maintenance costs at all. No pay-as-you-go model like busses and trains have.
