Passengers no doubt pay an array of taxes and as mentioned one such is the LUST taxes. When traveling or availing of any services it is argued that since there are shared responsibilities and both the providers and the consumer's of services are the stakeholders hence the consumer's should also bear the charges since it is concerned with their safety. But insuring hassle free services is the sole responsibility of the owners for which the customers should not be charged, would be the customers argument.
