I wouldn't care if the cost will be borne by the people who use the service. But let's be honest, that won't be the case. It will be paid for out of general taxation, so despite the fact that I'll probably never use it, as a higher rate taxpayer I'll be paying a lot towards it for no benefit.

I think well-thought-through transport improvements should be paid for by "the taxpayer". Whether this is that though, I'm not sure.

agreed - better infrastructure benefits everybody, not just people who use it directly
