AFAIK, they were never recognised in the Dutch law. i.e. not explicitly banned, just never legalised.

I’d be very interested to see some numbers here. I share the sentiment of the OP: there’s often talk about public transport being unprofitable but I haven’t come across any conversation about how much it costs to maintain our road infrastructure and how much of it is covered by taxes.
