Yup! And PA Turnpike drivers pay every day for buses in Philadelphia (or Pittsburgh, whichever is more distant to make the point) that they'll never ride.
But at least we have a status quo where both systems are subsidized, and both systems require you to buy in to use them. Why let one group go for free?

Between 2007 and 2022 they had to pay $450 million a year to fund non-turnpike things, including transit. Between 2013 and 2022 all of that money went to transit. The obligation has since been reduced to $50 million.
