No Tax Money Used Here

Japan has developed most comprehensive pubic transportation system in the world. You can actually travel pretty much everywhere without having a car.
The main train system was called Japan National Rail (JNR) and was wend by the government. In april 1, 1987, JNR was privatized and became Japan Rail (JR).
So, most of public transportation system, train, buses, airlines and taxies are not funded by the tax money. It is wonderful. I think the US should learn from that.
