Taxes that are also paid by those who don't drive, yes?

If you want to be strictly true then yes.

In practice, if you are using transit in the US, then you are likely not paying much in taxes. There are exceptions (NYC, SF, DC), of course.

The metro areas of those three cities contain almost 10 percent of the US population.

(Edit: And the vast majority of transit users!)
