It costs money to use mass transit so that the users of the service pay for it rather than getting a free ride from taxpayers. Would you prefer socialized mass transit instead?
I believe most cities heavily subsidize their mass transit systems, but I may be wrong in this.
In any case, no, I fully support pay-per-use for any and all government services.
Also, private companies that are granted exclusive monopolies by the government aren't really free market entities. I don't care if they city outsources the running of its subway system to a private company or not, that company still operates at the behest of the city, and someone else can't just start a competing company to increase quality of service.
