I seldom use public transport, but I still think the benefits make it worth us all paying for. Since it receives a massive subsidy anyhow, I don't think those in the country should be so annoyed. (... but, yes, they probably would be anyhow.)
I'm sure much of the estimated increase in use of existing services is from people not driving as much, which is a good thing, but of little economic use except in reduced petrol use. What I was referring to is the increase in travel in general, because some people will go and do things instead of doing nothing if transport is free.
