The regressive costs of cars for poor drivers isn't really in gas/gas taxes, or those kinds of fees. It's in predatory loans, high insurance premiums, and constant need for repairs. 
I might be making up a guy but I feel like a lot of pro-gas tax/congestion pricing people don't really grasp *just how hosed* poor people get for driving & I never seem to see pushes for policies that ALSO make insurance/maintenance/etc more accessible & reliable.
like there's always this push to make driving more miserable and i feel like that just translates to "sit in traffic longer" but people literally lose their livelihoods bc their transportation are being taken from them cuz they cant make a loan payment.
so open forum: would or would you not support programs/policies that make loans/car payments, insurance, maintenance more accessible? under what conditions? why or why not?
I guess another way of asking this is: should what degree should driving remain regressive, if at all?
