Of course it's a tax. MOOSE just tries to convince you that you might actually gain something out of it as well.
Now, would you voluntarily pay a tax for a system that costs $8,000 per rider per year. See my earlier calculations.

$200 Million dollars annual operating costs
25,000 riders daily (won't ever happen, but let's use this just for the sake of it).
Cost per rider = $200,000,000 / 25,000 = $8,000 dollars per rider per year to maintain this network.
Does it sound reasonable? Would you invest in this? How would you expect to get your money back?
