The companies do do not have to make alternative forms of transportation more affordable, even if they already are.

People right now have every opportunity to choose walking, biking, trains, buses, and even air travel as an alternative to cars.

As as far as taxing cars compared to bicycles and scooters are you serious? Do you have any clue how much people pay to have a car in taxes and fees? Are cyclists and scooter riders required to pay higher taxes and fees than cars? Not even close. Are cyclists mandated a requirement to have license to operate or just a plate and registration? Is insurance mandated to operate a bike or scooter or to ride a bus or take the train?

in the argument that there is a cabal squashing alternative forms of transportation there has been no evidence presented, other than the suspicion that people unknown to the accuser are plotting late at night, that Car manufactures are conspiring against other forms of transportation. Unless offering a choice to people that they prefer is unfair?

There red are no monsters in the closet or killers under the bed.
Really...??? Have you read anything about the history of transportation here in N America where GM has bought out other forms of transportation that were profitable, but then scrapped them.., Why would they scrap them...??? if the were "profitable" at the time... Maybe because they "conspired" to make cars even more "profitable"...
