if the roads weren't built for cars to begin with, Bike lanes would cost a lot more.
I did not say that car related taxes were the only way that bike infrastructure was funded, I said it was the major source of funding for alternative transportation.
If you pick a city like New York or DC, maintaining public infrastructure without car-related revenue would be fiscally impossible. The Amsterdam model does not work in those cases. Amsterdam also has legalized and taxed drug and sex trade markets, which might explain how they closed their car-related funding gaps.

This doesn't seem right. 92.8% of New York's revenue comes from Sales and Income taxes. https://ballotpedia.org/New_York_state_budget_and_finances#:~:text=Revenues%20come%20mainly%20from%20tax,corrections%2C%20Medicaid%2C%20and%20transportation https://ballotpedia.org/New_York_state_budget_and_finances#:....
