Why not do it the other way? Pay people to take public transport-i.e. make it free and even incentivize it by adding on other perks.
The US has a huge inefficiency issue, tax money is not used effectively, and a good fraction goes into carefully designed money laundering scams. More tax money here is like eating more to avoid stress.
How much could they possibly pay people to use public transit that would have anywhere near the same effect magnitude?

The US is near the top of that list ahead of (for example) the UK and France.
Also, this is an arbitrary all-in-one measurement of "government effectiveness", not something that in any way states "Many US government schemes are in fact elaborate money laundering".
