Get real. In Toronto, this is not the case. Mass transit practically pays for itself, when each trip is 85% paid for by the rate-payer and 15% paid for by the government. (and still a one-way fare is only $2.00 Canadian, which is cheaper than the subsidized $1.50 US NYC fare)
Consider that your gasoline taxes should be paying for all of the things that your car requires, and don't forget roads and maintenance, pollution clean-up, etc.
The fact of the matter is that the taxes you pay for gasoline (and on the car itself, insurance, licensing, etc.) do not even come close to paying for the resources used. In Toronto, public transit does.
