This would never happen in America because it would require Americans addressing their views on transit and addressing their pitiful consumer rail or even consumer bus industries.
Inflation and corporate profiteering re: oil prices are having much the same effect anyway.

Is it? I see one side blaming Biden and the other side blaming corporations but neither side is saying we need better public transit.
Taxing dirty electricity generation is regressive taxation, too; like I said, it's an original issue. A first step would be to pay out all the generated carbon taxes on a per capita basis.
