You should certainly consider the buses’ share of the road cost, just like you should consider only the portion of the rail cost that is built and maintained for the commuter usage. If either of those shares is 100%, logically it should be burdened with 100% of the cost. Bus depots, bus maintenance yard, dedicated bus lanes, and bus stop turnouts should all be 100%.

Hmm, that's a very good point.

I wonder what the cost of tarmac vs rails is, I suppose it's a question for an expert.
