The government can blockade roads and impound/boot your car. They also maintain roads. Many low-income people rely on public transit as their only transit option already. If your fear is that the government is going to turn against its own citizens and use public services as a weapon, public transit should be the least of your worries. You could easily say the same thing about municipal water or electricity.
