    Don’t really have the numbers, sorry, I just know that it’s a lot of money, especially if you have a nicer car.

    In the context of infrastructure, I don’t think comparing direct costs/income makes sense to talk about. It’s existence brings insane economical benefit, doesn’t matter if it’s roads or public transport.

    So my point is, it doesn’t make sense to try to hate on roads because of costs/income, same as it doesn’t make sense to do the same with public transport, both have their place in a much bigger system than themselves.

      It’s no hate on roads, it’s hate on injustice expectations. Why should trains make profit and cars/roads are accepted as public subsidized method of transportation?

      Plus it’s a misconception that roads bring us ‘insane economical benefit’. They cost us so so much (consider freedom, equality, environment, health and actual money) and the average citizen is certainly not the one to profit from this system.
