Feel free to point out where the problem with this argument is.
[1] Most/many mass transit systems (ie - public transport) are loss-making at the most direct level and need government support.
[2] Libertarians don't believe in government support for public transport.
[3] The state of play that a libertarian would advocate would therefore involve a decrease in public transport availability and usage.
[4] This state would lead to an increase in carbon emissions, gridlock etc. etc.
