Airports and roads are all funded by public monies. A new runway for SFO was projected to cost over $2 billion in 1999 (in 1999 dollars).
Highspeed rail was projected to cost less than expanding highways and airports. Not sure what it looks like with the increases. OTOH, the budgets for those other modes also tend to balloon over time.
