In tiny Luxembourg, the govt has made huge steps in doing just that. The have abolished fares on all public transport within the country - all trains, trams and buses are now free of charge!
Far from what one might expect that they might shrink the network, they are doing the opposite - the tram is being expanded out to Findel airport (Luxembourg's only international airport) and the rural bus services likewise. My village used to have no bus service on Sundays and public holidays, now the buses run on both albeit with a reduced service compared to weekdays.
Most buses I see even on rural routes are electric not polluting diesel and of course all the trains and trams are likewise electric.
