Being taxed higher doesn't make everyone feel as they're treated bad. Just so you hear another perspective.
Making us buy a ticket to use transport, while the poor uses it for free would be on another level.
Public transport is already funded through taxes. We already paid for it.
In Germany the local public transport is only partially funded by taxes. Tickets / Taxes is roughly 50 / 50.
The Autobahn is mostly funded by taxes.
