It works the same as maintaining road infra. Car/fuel taxes are not enough to cover it, so ppl taxes are used. There is no sustainable transport in this regard

It works the same as maintaining road infra. Car/fuel taxes are not enough to cover it, so ppl taxes are used. There is no sustainable transport in this regard maybe except bike lanes since these require minimal maintenance after built and have long lifespan, but public transport is better (cheaper to maintain) compared to car infra when accounting nr of passengers transported
- robertlagrant 3y ago> but public transport is better (cheaper to maintain) compared to car infra when accounting nr of passengers transported Is that true on a like for like basis? E.g. a car goes to my house. A bus needs the same road that cars do.
- josefx 3y agoA thousand people driving to work using busses need a lot less space/lanes than a thousand people driving cars to work.
- robertlagrant 3y agoFor sure, if people all live in my SimCity2000 designed cities of everyone lives over here and works over there : - )
- Moldoteck 3y agoBuses need much less lanes since in dense areas one bus line can serve thousands of ppl that live close to each other. Operating buses on all roads is not practical, it'll be expensive taxi on steroids, the scope of the bus is to collect ppl from a bigger area and drop them to a place where ppl also continue walking to their destination
