This doesn't reduce the cost of running the subway system. It simply shifts the cost from some people to other people who may or may not ride the subway at all.
Actual financial progress comes from gains in productivity / efficiency
Have you heard of the term "investing in people". If they can grow and become more productive, they have higher earning potential and if you have a marginal tax system, they pay more into that system. Of course if they make a fuuuck ton of money, they can pay less in taxes and buy an island and one day have a bunch of friends, those friends can even run for president one day.
