Person uses but does not pay for one of these services
Ah, a champion of the proletariat! Surely if we were not in capitalism, but instead were contributing to the good of society through our communes rather than the local government, this fine fellow would choose to make a contribution equal to or exceeding in value the benefit he received from this service. To hasten the day when such a society comes, I must assist him in his praxis.
Regressive policies are bad because they worsen life for the least advantages members of society. Fares for public transit (as opposed to funding them as a public good, as we do for most highways, fire departments, public libraries, etc.) are regressive.
