minus-squareephemeral_gibbon@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYes, however with that it’d be more expensive to administer taxation on bicycles etc. Than what they’d bring in… So not really worth doing at all.

Not saying I’d agree with it but there are ways to make all road users pay their share.
