100%.

All I'm seeing is a subsidy for drivers here...

Like, I can sort of, SORT OF see the logic behind providing subsidy for fuel for the use of delivery or other legitimate business uses, and for people who live in the country, in order to suppress some inflation.

But for personal transportation in a city? Nah. Take public transport. Doesn't exist? Time to demand it. Bus routes can be spun up incredibly quickly, and yet governments aren't doing that at all...
