A huge amount of public infrastructure is devoted to cars: highways, local roads, street lights, bridges, street parking, etc etc etc. Especially the free parking. Yes, there are public benefits to having a lot of this infrastructure, but that doesn't mean that cars aren't massively subsidized. The public cost of private cars, including the negative externalities, is enormous.
