I don't use public transport anymore, but constant surveillance certainly would not increase my willingness to return to bus or train. It is different in a larger cities with pervasive transportation, but outside of those I don't see how public transport can get attractive anymore. I don't see this as an expansion of the state, I see this as a result of society getting worse with crime. Highly depends on the location whether such surveillance is needed or not. Personally, it would prohibit me from feeling comfortable. Surveillance has a suppressing effect, not a moderating one and that is not restricted to criminals. They are probably affected the least. I don't want to do a check-in like in planes, the security industry is already very parasitic and usually superficial. A state extending it looks weak and seems overburdened.
