Drivers and residents pay additional taxes to maintain roads and pay for their own cars. You can’t get tax payers to maintain your own car.

  Why should I pay taxes (as a resident non-driver) for somebody else's car if they don't pay taxes for the train I much prefer to use?

    They do. That’s my point. Train riders are subsidized. Car drivers are not

      Do you really believe that all car-related costs to society are completely paid for by car-related taxes and fees?
    • bendigedig 2y ago
      This is a complete fallacy. Car owners might pay for their cars but the annual emissions tax doesn't come close to covering the cost of roads and their infrastructure. Road transport is subsidised to a far larger extent than rail travel is.
