Yeah about twice as much. But it's still a bad argument because pounds don't really matter.

Yes, infrastructure is more more important, and railway infrastructure is much more sustainable to maintain in long term.

If you live at a place with decent public transport, you'll ditch cars first thing. That's the biggest argument against cars.
