Nah, every conservative I know hates toll roads with a passion. They want the roads to be taxpayer-funded because that’s what they use as an upstanding member of society, while social programs and public transit should be profitable or shut down because those are for the poors who need to get their act together.
Basically, they think everything conservatives and billionaires rely on should be taxpayer-funded, while everything they don’t need is “for the poors” and needs to either turn a profit or be cut.
