> Why do you think someone who walks and bike everywhere should pay increased taxes to subsidise empty buses running around the place?

Because putting people on the bus who would otherwise park their cars where the bike lane is or the sidewalk, is a good deal for you!

Also because the people on the bus pay taxes for your bike lanes & sidewalks. (If only bikers paid for the bike lanes, your taxes would probably be much higher than what you pay to subsidize buses.)

Also because the majority of people don’t bike & walk everywhere.

Also because there are rain days.

Also because we’re all in this together.
