I think more effective transportation solutions are the one thing that affects everyone positively. Other than the tax $$ spent, there's really no downside. If there were a tax on the table that taxed everyone across the board the same then I wouldnt have any problem with it at all. Maybe if you were a hermit and never left the house you wouldnt be affected.... but everyone uses the roads, HOV, and public transit (to varying extents).
These new civil fines are targeting specific groups to benefit the greater good, and that is a load of horseshit.
