Maybe if public transit was better funded and managed, more people could get to their jobs without having to pay for a car or a rideshare, saving costs. And more people could have jobs working for the transit agency. And in aggregate you have more employed people with lower daily costs, leading, ultimately, to fewer people out there who need to steal laptops in order to get by.

I doubt many people would be interested even if you told them their commute time would only double. Even if you had private transportation to nearby public transportation hubs with rides that went greater distances with no/few stops, as a short term solution (similar to private FANG shuttles), you still have a distribution problem on the other side.
