Yes.

But else laws got passed bcs it was presented like how airplanes deserve being untaxed (to the cost of taxpayers) but railroad doesn't.

You can try to change those laws & get the same lobby propaganda in return.

Like how is there always money for another lane but much cheaper infrastructure is crumbling.

Governments hand out money to make the best mode of transportation (from their pov) also the cheapest.

Yeah, no, corruption & short-term gains are the main factors by which the gov decided what is best.
And why more socialist or even communist states tend to have that sorted out better.

also the cheapest.

Cars were never that tho.
