The costs of driving aren't directly on the driver, but are the sprawl, environmental problems, expensive infrastructure, and deaths caused by car use.
Direct per-trip costs can be fixed with government subsidies (which have been heavily given to cars in the past) and travel times can be fixed with higher quality infrastructure and transit-oriented development.
