I agree.

In the spirit of making sure public infrastructure is maximally available and not a la carte, let's make buses and trains free to end users and funded like roads currently are.

Presumably there are no gas taxes or licensing fees in this magical place you live?

I agree.

But I would like to clarify, I am not 100% against tolls.

Its perfectly reasonable to be expected to pay, for example, a small entrance fee at a national park. But it is unreasonable for this small entrance fee to fund the entire park and unacceptable for it to become a large entrance fee.
