Adequate transportation is a need for anyone living independently, and yes we share expenses for common resources including needs that don’t serve us personally. If my contribution can go toward a physics lab that only serves a subset group of students it can also go toward taking that serves a subset of students

My taxes and tuition are paying for literally billions of dollars for stuff at my states public university system that I never use. It’s a great investment giving us one of the best education systems in the country.

No one said parking is the only solution. Buses work decently even at everyone else’s expense, but if you’ll read my responses you should see I advocate for going further, even at everyone else’s expense: many universities are even better served by trains. There’s a difference between advocating only one solution vs advocating for one solution that works now vs one you hope eventually works. And both are far better than just depriving a subset of people of basic transportation
