> Public transit in this city loses an average of $2 per fare and has to subsidized by the Federal government. It’s only cheaper if you think being bailed out by the Feds is cheaper.
Oh boy wait until you learn about how the roads cars use is paid for buddy.
@kemotep There's local roads, paid through local council rates, whether people drive or not.
And direct fossil fuel subsidies and tax incentives.
And the subsidised cost of parking.
And the subsidised cost of rebuilding after fossil fuel climate disasters like hurricanes, floods, droughts, droughts, heatwaves, and bushfires.
And the subsidised economic cost of car crashes.
And the subsidised health costs from people inhaling toxic fossil fuels.
And the subsidised opportunity costs of how the land could be better used if it weren't for roads and parking.
