Freeways are paid by the users, via fuel tax. By and large, the more you use, the more tax you pay.

We don’t need any new transportation lines.

Move to, or away from, what ever quality/price/choice line you like.

If WG likes monorails, move to Seattle. If you like palm trees and beaches, move to Florida. If you like urban elevated railroads, move to New York.

Not anymore. Those “user” fees I call them taxes don't cover enough to maintain the “free” ways anymore. The interstate system is in the same place the railroads found themselves in fifty years ago. Too much expansion, dilapidated bridges and other infrastructure needing repair. I'm not advocating the government building of railroads by the way. I like the fact that railroads are privately owned and maintained. Highways on the other hand not so much.
