Car drivers pay a lot of taxes, gasoline taxes, often various personal property taxes, also other fees and charges. They might still receive a net subsidy but its less clear.

Trucks probably do receive a net subsidy. Their drivers pay more, but they tear up the roads a lot more.

Air traffic clearly receives subsidies, periodically airlines even get large direct subsidies. I would like to see those eliminated.
