Perhaps government would invest in proper public transport if so many businesses weren't trying to figure out ways to avoid taxes by, say, insisting a huge number of people who contract full-time and long-term for them aren't really employees?

What taxes are being avoided? Contractors pay just as much, if not more tax. There's no magical loophole.
Also the govt is not lacking for funds. The problem is poor spending and that will never get solved by giving up even more money. I'd rather have private businesses that actually produce valuable services then wait on crappy transportation delivered a decade late by the state.
