My point is that your claims all appear unsubstantiated. Unless you have a very different definition for the word 'often.'
Highways are often funded by means of bonds which allow anyone to invest. There are both government and private bonds. The vast majority are government bonds.
You keep making wild claims and aren't actually citing any references. I showed you that the number of private toll roads is a tiny number compared to those which are not. You made a claim, I check it out, and it doesn't appear that you're right.

Go look at the companies and people that MOSTLY fund those new roads/contracts. It's clear you have no idea what's happening. Your shitty link to wiki shows nothing about the current trend I was talking about. The trend is becoming more popular. Hence the today comment. How dumb are you? I didn't say all toll roads in existence were funded by foreign interest. I said today, the trend is that most new roads and take overs are from foreign money. At least, that's what anyone who understands English would infer from my sentence. You seem stuck on the idea that I said all toll roads that exist were funded by foreign investors. The FACT is there is a trend today of these roads being funded by foreign investors. The PIRG foundation did a study that shows this. But since you read wiki once, you're clearly well versed in what's happening behind the scenes.

No, you said often. Yet you have provided no citations.
Hint: There's a reason I often post links about transportation.
