Simple fact is most voters don't use transit and only agree to fund it if they think it will get some people out of their cars and hence out of their way. Anything denying this is just a fudge.

The only dangerous precedent here is that increasingly anti-urban policy here is sleepwalking this city into the kind of hollowing out we see in the US. All while, urbanites disproportionately pay the bills.
And indeed, if the median voter thinks transit's only utility is traffic reduction (a view suburbanites regularly express with their votes) than maybe service in low use areas should match what they vote for.
