The point is you’d have to create an exception. The rule doesn’t work naturally, which implies it might be flawed.

You think any rule should have a one flat rate. One size fits all?

To be fair, rule should have different multipliers. Small rate for small car and buses, huge rate for trucks. Easy.

No, but it's more elegant and less gameable that way. Otherwise, we wind up with the Section 179 problem [1].

I don’t understand why we can’t have this, and exemptions for public transit, or human transportation companies providing municipal services?

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. If a solution isn’t as elegant as possible, but significantly reduces the amount of SUVs on the roads, it’s a good thing - period.
