It's astonishing the rail infrastructure is underfunded in the Netherlands. A flat country where you'd expect it to be fairly cheap to maintain rail networks
It might be "underfunded" but the quality is super high. Very regular trains, always on time or within a minute or two, and the trains are in good condition.
And their roads? What about their roads? Do their highways pay for themselves? Why is it that public transit must always be budget neutral or make a profit, but it's perfectly okay if, like in the US, the government pays $10 for every $1 a driver spends on driving?
