You said that Atheism is essentially its own religion or at least a belief system, I think that is a disingenuous take and as Moozer325 says (paraphrased), it is the absence of belief. At the end of the day it is semantics but It tells me that you are going into the argument with zero intention of changing your mind, If you don't offer the appearance of an open mind you will likely fail to change the mind of others. Interesting topic all the same and I will try to get round to watching the video linked for a more detailed perspective.
The main benefits of public transport are reduction in congestion and a reduced personal transport cost for the user. As the question is about money then in this case it is the individual or group who are taking public transport that are saving money right? If the question is about accessibility then the solution could be free tickets for individuals who make <X per annum for example. P.S. I've just signed on to this site and don't know how it works so forgive me if I'm doing it wrong but there wasn't an immediately obvious option to add an argument to this thread so I've made do :)
