And they're all still mostly single occupant. Actually, there's probably more cars in that picture with multiple occupants than I see on average on the roads these days.
Is pretty similar in Australia. Registration isn't a road use fee, it's a deadly weapon use fee, a large part of which is compulsory third party insurance, but the average driver thinks they're 'paying their way' with it. It's also a state fee, while most of the roads we drive on day to day are built and maintained by local councils, which everyone pays for via property rates regardless of choice of transport.
We're also grappling with the increasing popularity of electric vehicles and the loss of fuel excise revenue from that, and how to recoup that from ev owners, which they don't like.
Even so, car driving is still the most heavily subsidised form of transport around.

A nice, smooth downshift.
The new Liberal leader, Sussan Ley, has said a Liberal party is needed that “respects modern Australia, that reflects modern Australia, and that represents modern Australia. And we have to meet the people where they are.”
OK. Let us know when you find it, Suss. It could take a while.

So I try to create a new account with that email - "This email address already exists in our system."
Wear whatever you want and try not to care about what other people think of it.
Apparently.
Not at all. It was just an account I hadn't used for a while and had forgotten the password to. I was trying to sign up for premium so I could listen to albums on the Android app.
