A valid point but the counter is that nearly free transportation encourages people to travel in circumstances that they otherwise wouldn't. So it's not as simple as "well they're encouraging people to take public transit instead of drive."

I don't want to drive to Las Vegas this weekend but if you give me a free plane ticket I'm on it.
