Public transportation is a public good you receive benefits from even if you don't directly use it; cleaner air, less congestion reducing transit times, and a happier populace.

  cleaner air
Only if it displaces more pollution than it contributes itself. Running mostly empty trains and buses worsens both congestion and pollution.
