I find it hard to imagine a situation where this doesn't all have a significant impact on transit use. Obviously people with no practical alternative will have to continue using transit, but a lot of people with options (driving, walking, cycling, working from home) will shy away. The big question is whether it affects ridership by a small percentage, or by a more significant (say, 10% or more) margin.
