And they think the solution is just to increase tolls to encourage people to use public transit that is hardly ever on time, is always broken, and won’t get you where you need to go

Yes, without a doubt the solution is to disincentivize automobile usage and ownership through tolls, but that money needs to be used for transit improvements. The issue is transparency of the funds, it should not be nearly this expensive to improve mass transit.
