They do. That’s my point. Train riders are subsidized. Car drivers are not

Do you really believe that all car-related costs to society are completely paid for by car-related taxes and fees?

This is a complete fallacy. Car owners might pay for their cars but the annual emissions tax doesn't come close to covering the cost of roads and their infrastructure.

Road transport is subsidised to a far larger extent than rail travel is.
