The cost of the resources used should be divided proportionally among the users, when your trying to calculate the cost for each user.

He has a point in some cases. But not in this one. If you are trying to decide which is cheaper, building new roads or building light rail, you are correct, the costs should not be apportioned. Because those costs are already sunk, you don't have to pay for them again.

That's one bill, not all spending on all mass transit ever.

And money goes from the gas tax to transit. Burning gasoline (which mostly means road use) is funding transit programs.
