I'm sure I'll get beat up for this but this is the way I see it.

I own a car and pay for the car, gas, insurance and maintenance out of my own pocket.

Bus riders through fares pay for the bus, fuel, insurance, maintenance and the driver through fares.

We all pay through income and property taxes for the road networks that these vehicles travel on.

It seems fair to me. I've chosen to pay more to use a personal vehicle. Transit riders pay less through choice or circumstance to use transit.

Personally, I'd love to have convenient public transit that fits my lifestyle but it is not available.

Just another point of view.
