Some do not many national coaches I would say is public transport which do but grey area if you call it public transport now. Ours does for local interlink rural bus services only for one junction as its A road that turns to motorway.

Problem once you exemp certain traffic or subsidise it dont become viable for either business or government. The shortfall would have to be met by higher charges.
